Scripture Writing Plans: 4 Short Plans You Can Start Today
Published
Many people start a read-the-Bible-in-a-year plan in January and stop by February. Several chapters a day is a lot when you are just beginning. If you want to build a daily habit, start with a short plan, and write the verses out by hand as you go.
Four short scripture writing plans
| Plan | Length | Each day | Good for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Philippians Selections | 16 days | One to three verses | Your first daily habit |
| Psalms in 30 Days | 30 days | One to three verses | A quiet time of prayer |
| Proverbs in 31 Days | 31 days | One or two verses from each chapter | A practical line a day |
| Psalm 119 | 60 days | About three verses | Going slowly through the longest chapter |
How to choose
- Start with the shortest. Finishing a 16-day plan does more for a habit than stopping a 365-day plan on day 20.
- Proverbs has 31 chapters, so many people read the chapter that matches the date.
- Psalm 119 has 176 verses, all about God’s word. Choose it when you want to go deeper.
Turning a plan into a habit
Pick a regular time and do only a little each day. If you miss a day, carry on the next day without catching up. Writing one verse out by hand after reading will help it stay with you.
