2026 BIBLE READING PLAN

One Chapter A Day

"This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success." Joshua 1:8

One A Day + Prayer is a daily Bible reading program that is designed to build the up the Body of Christ. This study is short, sweet and simple. However the result are proven. We look forward to the Word of God coming alive in your life.

So how does it work?
One chapter a day of assigned bible reading and 10 minutes of prayer with 10 minutes of meditation.Ask God to do as he did in Luke 24:45, “Then He open their minds to understand the scriptures”. Finally, ask the Holy Spirit to “teach you all things”, John 14:26. What will the results look like?

We are believing you will move from trainee to personal trainer, from sitting to serving,from pew potato to Kingdom Builder, from wondering about your spiritual gifts to operating in your spiritual gifts.

Example below:

Friday, September 19“The Only Thing”

S - Galatians 5:6b “The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.”

O
- The ONLY thing that counts, that has meaning, value, or merit, the only thing that really matters or that I should even concern myself with is faith! But faith needs to be expressed — not as a duty or obligation or because it earns me favor with God but expressed through loving God and loving people.

A
- For me, faith expressing itself through love might mean serving people cheerfully when I don’t really feel like it.Maybe I need to say a kind word to someone who hasn’t been nice lately.Maybe it means praying to God joyfully!  when I’m tired or frustrated or confused. This is the time I need to thank God ahead of time and love Him  , that’s faith!

P
- Thank you, Lord, for the ability to engage in the only thing that counts: Faith expressing itself in love. Amen!
