Daily Readings for January 5 – 11


Fellow travelers:

Continuing on from last year, each week in 2026 I will post 2 chapters to read per day as the main reading plan, and for anyone who wants to read the whole Bible in 2026, I’ll post the extra chapters to read that week.  The main readings will include nearly all of the New Testament, plus Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, the Prophets, and a few other Old Testament books.

Reading 3 chapters a day on weekdays and 4 on weekends almost exactly covers the 1,189 chapters of the Bible, so the “extra” readings will be about 9 chapters per week.  These readings will cover the Pentateuch, the OT histories, a few other OT books, plus Jude and Revelation from the NT.

I hope this encourages others to read and study their Bible more, whatever parts they decide to read.  Follow along (or not) any way you choose!

2 chapter a day plan:

Monday, January 5: Psalm 5, Matthew 5
Tuesday, January 6: Psalm 6, Matthew 6
Wednesday, January 7: Psalm 7, Matthew 7
Thursday, January 8: Psalm 8, Matthew 8
Friday, January 9: Psalm 9, Matthew 9
Saturday, January 10: Psalm 10, Matthew 10
Sunday, January 11: Psalm 11, Matthew 11

Extra chapters for those reading the whole Bible in 2026:
Genesis 7-15
