Suggested reading plan for everyone to go through, especially as a new believer or new to reading the King James bible.
A good idea is to complete steps 1 to 3 within the first three days and then make it a habit to read (or listen to if using an audio version) at least a couple of chapters every day for the remaining steps. Enough to get the context, but not so much that it starts to overwhelm or meaning gets lost. Also, there are 31 chapters of Proverbs, one for each day of the month. Add reading a chapter in Proverbs every day as you go through the steps 4 to 7.
Psalm 119 gives 176 benefits for reading God’s words.
