SUCCESSFUL BIBLE READING

You will learn much in this course about how to understand and interpret the Bible. You will
also learn methods of creative Bible study. But the first step in understanding the Bible is to
begin to read it. To help you start reading God's Word we have outlined several different
reading plans. These include a plan for those just starting their study as well as a plan for
those who are more advanced in the study of God's Word.
First, here are four suggestions for successful Bible reading:

READ DAILY:
But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in His law doth he meditate day
and night. (Psalms 1:2)

God made your physical body so you must have food daily in order to remain healthy. In
a similar manner, your spirit must be fed daily with the food of the Word of God if you are
to be spiritually healthy:
. . . It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word of
God. (Luke 4:4)
