I decided to read through the book of Matthew during the month of April. I am reading it one chapter a day and I thought I would share this with my readers if anyone wanted to join me. There are 28 chapters in Matthew so you can miss a few days and still be okay. I even made a bookmark for everyone who wanted to participate.
I try to have a bible study every day and I am working on really making it a priority. When I sit down to study, I pray first for my bible study time and for friends, family, etc. Then I read my chapter…some days just once, other days five times. It just depends but when I read it several times I get something new out of it every time. Then I journal which is as simple as writing down the one verse that really stuck out to me that day. I also keep a gratitude journal and each day I try to write a few things I am thankful for that day.
If you join me, please share your verses on Twitter and Instagram with the #1chapteraday so I can see what verses are important to you from that chapter. Please print out the bookmark so you can have a reminder where you are and a simple way to have a bible study each day.

What do you do during your bible study time? I would LOVE new ideas 🙂
[…] Last month, I challenged myself to read 1 chapter a day for the entire month of April. I read Matthew and I’m excited to say I only missed 5 days. I read the entire book and really got to take my time and listen to what each chapter was saying to me. […]
Love this idea! Right now I am actually reading the bible in one year for the first time! I need some guides to get me to study, so I downloaded the you version bible app and it has tons of plans and devotionals. The bible in one year was one of them and I had never done it, so I decided it was time! I like the idea of reading the chapter a few times during the day to get more out of it!
I did the bible in one year in college…it takes some dedication but I think you can do it 🙂
