“If you fail to plan, then you plan to fail.”
Ever heard that before?
Pretty sure someone smart like John Maxwell or Zig Ziglar said it.
However cliche that is…I cannot escape the magnitude of truth that’s in that statement.
And what’s worse…it applies to EVERY area of life!
Fitness.
Eating right.
Goals in business.
Even spirituality.
As Christians, we can get caught up in a very dangerous trap –
We can talk a lot about the Bible without ever actually reading the Bible
It’s an easy trap to fall into.
It’s a dangerous trap to fall into.
We can actually trick ourselves into thinking we’re doing just fine when in reality we’re falling further and further away from God’s best for our lives.
The Bible is the key to staying:
Focused.
Encouraged.
Convicted.
Passionate.
Wise.
So how do we stay away from the trap?
Plan. To. Read. The. Bible.
Simple.
Not easy.
The one reading plan I love and challenge every Christian to do is this one.

Bottom line:
If you’re a Christian, read the Bible.
If you’re not a Christian, become one. Then read your Bible.
