How to Make Daily Bible Reading a Habit | 8 Tips for Devotions

I've started reading the bible each day and fasting for the last 4ish days. And I'll either put a random number generator 1-66 into my phone and pick a book that way, then do the same with chapters in the book, and read full chapters. Or I'll look up on google verses related to something which is bothering me, and then will read the entire chapter (or entire book in the case of Haggai).

And I have to say its actually kind of scary how accurate a lot of these passages have been to what's going on in my life, like not just down to vague understanding, but actual detail. And it comforts me, but also makes me kind of. . . Extra-present is the word I guess? I truly believe in God and I do find it very freaky but also relieving that something in my life that I'm struggling with can be solved by looking at the bible and finding a passage that, somehow, pertains to exactly what I'm going through.

Just came across your channel, Regan and I love what you have done here. The way you’ve made a bridge with Bible/productivity. Also the work you’ve put in is motivating.
I’m working on my own channel this year with the general theme of Bible reading and study habits and strategies.
I’d love to hear some advice from you as someone who’s been in the lane for a while.
Thanks. And God bless

100% agree on the “don’t bite off more than you can chew.” I have tried 3 or 4 years in a row to do a 1 year through the Bible & failed every time. Starting today I decided on short plans on the Bible app by the Bible Project so it also has the explanation videos with it. Breaking your no phone rule but I find listening to the Bible while I get ready for my day was the one part of the previous attempts that really worked well.

Do you guys have your routines designed just for Monday - Friday for work hours or weekends too?

I use the Blue Letter Bible reading plan. I read a few chapters from the KJV, in the morning, and the same chapters from the NKJV, at night.

this is great info, thanks for the pdf's , i was reading the bible front to back for an hour a day, but now i understand how it is supposed to be read..

Thank you, Brother Reagan.🌹⭐🌹

keep it up mr Reagan

Thanks so much,

The best KJV!👍👏😊

What’s a devotional?

Thank u very much for your god bless

So fascinating

thank u

Super helpful!

I'm just not a morning person. I do a lot of my reading and studying at night. Sometimes when I'm not working I do it in the afternoon. Usually depends. I've been taking my Bible with me to work and reading it on my breaks as well

the bible has not always been around and made available to everyone, heck the thief on the cross went to be with Jesus in paradise and he never had time to read the bible. Sure we should read it but it has not always been around in the form it is now and not everyone is a reader. Some people just don't do a lot of reading and some do! I like to listen to my bible- So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God and I read it ( cover to cover a couple of times). Then people feel guilty because they don't like reading ANYTHING and someone says you have to read a lot when its not something you do.

I read the Bible on my phone then get a notification lol “2 hrs laterr on tiktok”

A bible tip I would offer is read small amounts vs big ones. Take a chapter a day, say John 1, read it in the morning. Pray about something that stood out, then read it again later in the day. Your life will change.

thnx brother!!!!! helped a lot

I just bought you book Redeeming Productivity, I’m so glad I found this video. I am going to take a look at the links you have a little later. Thank you for this. I have been struggling so much.

Thank You. I realized today that I needed a PLAN otherwise my day was wasted by haphazard efforts (well intentioned) that produced nothing. Thank you. God bless you.

I've always contended with this because I'm a working mom and wife that gets up, helps hubby with our daily plans, heads to work, school drop offs, etc. I learned to let go of prop open the Bible right after I open my eyes. I pray when I get up, listen to Christian music for my morning errands, spend 10-15 minutes reading the Bible after my work day starts, and then listen to different sermon and theology things throughout the day.

I read my Daily Bread and The Scriptures for reading the Bible in a yr. It helps a lot.

Great information! Thank you! How ironic that i’m watching your video instead of reading my bible. 😂
Seriously though, thanks for this advice, if applied, it will change lives!

Here's summary:

(Watch the entire video. It's worth it.)

Hi! Is your mini course and planner PDF still available? I entered my email and didn’t receive it? Thanks! 😊

Thank you so much! It’s really helpful ,I’m going to try is today. 21days later I’ll come back if I make it a routine

Hello I'm in Philippines. So great to hear and watch your videos sir. I wish you can share me some of your bible books to me sir. Thank you.🙏

Thank youuu

I’m a believer I find truth in the Bible

I also rlly like to read from the real bible, I have the Bible app but I’m always strayed away from different notifications or stuff.

God bless you.

Matthew 7:24
Everyone who listens to these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on rock.

Yessir I needed this video

“Commentaries up the wazoo”
Really? 😳 I stopped listening at that point.

One of the problems Christianity ✝️ has today are churches that speak of Holy things then use unsanctified language to do it. Christianity should be maintaining the standard, not lowering it.

So you practice being stupid?

Thank you for rhis video, this is truly inspiring. Warm wishes from South Africa. ⚘

Thank you Sir for the tips.

I'm a night person & it works for me in the evening before bedtime.

Thank you for this!

"Holy peer pressure," ...I really, really need that. Man, doing this walk alone is tough.

Step 1. Pick up your Bible
Step 2. Read it

Great Video by a great teacher!! God bless you brother!!!

God Bless You Brother. What if it's someone like me who really struggles with lack of focus & or ADD/ADHD?

I love doing my devotionals at night sometimes I read the Bible, listen to Christian music, or listen to Bible teachings or a lecture in the mornings or the afternoons.

This has helped me.,I've been that kind of a person of just pick up a bible and read any where.thank you brother
