Engaging with your BIBLE
We all know we should read the Bible, but sometimes it’s easy to put it at the bottom of our priority list. Other times it looks too big and too hard. And sometimes we just forget.
Using a Bible reading plan is a great way to give structure to our Bible-reading, and an easy way to incorporate Bible-reading into our routines and develop good habits.

Tips for Bible Reading:
- Choose a reading plan and try to stick to it! (But if you miss a day, don’t stress – add what you missed into other days, pick up where you left off or even catch up by missing a day or two)
- Get an accountability partner – someone who checks up on how you’re going. It might be a friend who does the same reading plan, it might be a parent or your Life Group leader
- Pray before you read that God will help you to understand what you are reading and give you a better picture of who He is and His story
- Find a translation that suits you – for lots of different translations visit www.biblegateway.com
- Ask questions – try and find the answers yourself, or ask a parent, pastor, friend or leader
- Finally, make it fun – journal, paint, draw, compose, dance, sing or whatever else helps you to best understand God’s Story
