Here is the step-by-step breakdown of the “Bible Diet” plan.

Yes, this is a life-giving routine divided into five distinct “nutritional” categories (similar to proteins, fats, carbs, etc.) designed to help you read through the Bible systematically throughout the year.

The “Bible Diet” Overview:

The core of this plan centers on a daily “Hour of Power” in the morning, supplemented by weekly study and nightly reading.

1. The Confessional Reading (Daily)

• Time: First 5–10 minutes of your day.
• Focus: New Testament (9 times a year) or Old Testament (3 times a year).
• Method: Read publicly or out loud.
• Goal: “Confess” the word over your life. When a verse strikes your spirit, pause and speak it out as a confession of faith.
• Setting: Can be done alone, with a disciple, or in a group.

2. The Devotional Reading (Daily)

• Time: Next 20 minutes.
• Focus: Psalms & Wisdom Literature & Revelation!
• Method: Pray the Scriptures over your life.
• Yearly Schedule:
  • Psalms: Read through the entire book twice a year. (e.g., In January, read Psalms 1–41).
  • Proverbs: Read continuously to finish in October 1-October 31st.
  • Job: Read during November.
  • Revelation: Read during December.
  • Special Note: On January 1st, read Revelation 21–22 to start the year with the vision of the “New Heavens and New Earth”.
  • Other Poetic Books: Fit Ecclesiastes and Song of Solomon into the remaining months.

3. The Meditational Reading (Daily)

• Time: Final 30 minutes of the hour.
• Focus: The Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John).
• Method: “Beholding Jesus.” The goal is not just speed, but revelation—seeing Jesus clearly to become like Him.
• Schedule: One Gospel per month.
• Pacing: Take one chapter a day. For longer books like Matthew (28 chapters), split long chapters (like Matthew 26) over two days to fit the month.

Supplemental Readings
Outside of the morning “Hour of Power,” the plan includes two other components to ensure the entire Bible is covered.

4. The Doctrinal Study (Weekly)

• Time: Once a week (e.g., on your Sabbath/day of rest, during a lunch hour, or on a flight).
• Focus: Epistles & Major Prophets.
• New Testament: Acts, Romans, 1 & 2 Corinthians.
• Old Testament: Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel.
• Method: Deep study. Take time to understand the theology and doctrine presented in these books.

5. The Historical Reading (Nightly)

• Time: At night, before going to sleep.
• Focus: The 17 Historical Books (Genesis through Esther).
• Method: Read for the narrative and history.
• Note: incorporate parallel passages using the parallel resource (like on the specific Bible Diet sheet) that coordinates the timelines of Kings, Chronicles, and Samuel so you understand the chronological flow.
