The turn of the calendar means a fresh start on many of the routine things we do in life that keep us going. And it is a good time to add to our routine the daily reading of the Word. Going into the next year there is no better devotional or podcast, sermon video or Instagram story that can bring us to life like Scripture. So let consume it together.

There are many plans worth pursuing when it comes to Bible reading, but at Reservoir in 2020 we are encouraging each other to follow the Robert Murray M’Cheyne reading plan. Compiled by a 20-something Scottish pastor in 1842, the plan takes you through the Old Testament once, and the New Testament and Psalms twice in the year. It is a steady and robust diet that will leave us full and flourishing.

You can find the plan on the YouVersion Bible app for convenience if you like. And you can also print a schedule from The Gospel Coalition. The “Read The Bible” initiative provides audio devotionals and a daily newsletter to keep you on track. Sign up for that here.

2020 looks to be a vital year for us as a church as we hunger for the Word and trust in Jesus to carry us through. Let’s build together! Take up and read!
