Life Journal

Daily Bible Reading Plan

Below you will find the Bible reading plan that Gateway follows called the Life Journal. The Life Journal reading plan takes you through the entire Bible in one year; the old testament once, and the new testament twice.

Each day consists of just a few chapters for both old and new testament, and are an easy way to stay in the Word without feeling overwhelmed. Just find the day and click on the listed passages to be taken directly to biblegateway.com to read the day's selection.

Prayer

Pray for yourself and/or for others.

What do you notice about the verses? What do you think the main message is?
