January 2027 Scripture Writing Plan: A Fresh Start

New Year’s Day 2027 falls on a Friday. This plan gives you one verse a day for all of January, to write out by hand. The theme is a fresh start. The first two days open the year, and each week after that takes one part of the theme, from being made new in Christ to the way ahead. If you wrote through the December 2026 plan, none of these verses repeat it.

How to use this plan

Write one verse a day, in any translation you like.
Read the verses around it first, so you know the context.
Under the verse, note one thing you would like to begin, or begin again, this year.

The weekly themes

Jan 1–2: A new year. God is doing something new, and you commit your plans to Him.
Jan 3–9: Made new. A new heart, a new spirit and a new life in Christ.
Jan 10–16: Forgiven. Sins removed and remembered no more, so you can start again.
Jan 17–23: A renewed mind. What you think about, and the word you keep in your heart.
Jan 24–31: The way ahead. Guidance and courage for the rest of the year.

New Year’s Day

The verse for Friday, January 1 is God’s word to His people through the prophet Isaiah:

Behold, I am about to do something new; even now it is coming. Do you not see it? Indeed, I will make a way in the wilderness and streams in the desert. (Isaiah 43:19, BSB)

Read Isaiah 43:16–21 before you write. The verses just before it recall how God made a way in the sea and a path through the waters. If you keep a new notebook for 2027, this verse fits on its first page.

A whole year of reading

This plan covers January only. If you also want to read through the Bible in 2027, the 2027 Bible reading plan sets out each month’s chapters, with a lighter option of one New Testament chapter each weekday. You can follow it and still write one verse a day from this list.

Print a page

Use the free lined scripture writing page, or the SOAP page if you would like space for a short reflection each day.

Or write it in the app

Penned Grace lets you handwrite each verse on iPhone, iPad or Android with Apple Pencil or your finger. Your handwriting stays in the passage, and the calendar keeps a mark for every day you wrote.

The February 2027 plan follows this one with 28 days on love and the first weeks of Lent.
