This plan provides a good balance between Old Testament readings and New Testament Readings because it guides you through the New Testament twice as you read through the Old Testament once. To allow time for reflection, it follows a two-year plan.
Every week I will post the readings for that week and add the daily devotionals as time permits. If you wish to print a copy of the plan without the devotions, you can find copies of it in pdf format at the link below. I like to print and use them as bookmarks in my Bible.

June 4 (Read: Lev. 4, 5 & 6)
The daily devotion will be added later. Until then, please ask the Lord to give you a “wonderful thought” from today’s reading.
June 5 (Read: Lev. 7 & 8)
“Then he poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron’s head and anointed him, to consecrate him.” (Lev. 1:1 NASB)
To consecrate Aaron to the priesthood, Mosed had to wash him, then anoint him with oil and with the blood of the ordination sacrifice. As believers in Christ, we a called to a royal priesthood (1Pe. 2:9). Our bodies are washed with water, and our hearts are sprinkled clean by the blood of Jesus. Additionally, we are anointed with power from the Holy Spirit. All three are needed to fulfill our calling. We must be saved and filled with the Holy Spirit to serve Him effectively. The Holy Spirit clothes us with power for service. After Jesus rose from the dead, He breathed on the disciples so they could receive the Holy Spirit (Jn. 20:22). Then He told them to wait in Jerusalem until they would be anointed with power from on high (Lu. 24:49). Receiving the Holy Spirit “in us” occurs when we are saved. Power from on high is received when the Holy Spirit comes “upon us” (Acts 1:8). First, we are set apart onto Him; then we are empowered for service. The promise of the Holy Spirit’s anointing is “for you as many as the Lord our God shall call to Himself.” (Acts 2:39).
Thank You, Father, for sealing me with Your Holy Spirit when I believed the Gospel. Thank You also for immersing me in Your Spirit when I believed Your promise. Your Word says that I should be continually filled with Your Spirit, so I ask You to refresh Your anointing upon me. Even the disciples were filled again with the Holy Spirit when they prayed for boldness to preach Your word. I yield, therefore, my body to You Holy Spirit so I may glorify God with it. (Eph. 1:13; Acts 1:8; Eph. 5:18; Acts 4:31; 1Cor. 6:20)
June 6 (Read: Lev. 9 & 10)
The daily devotion will be added later. Until then, please ask the Lord to give you a “wonderful thought” from today’s reading.
June 7 (Read: Lev. 11 & 12)
“I am the Lord your God. Consecrate yourselves therefore, and be holy, because I am holy.” (Lev. 11:44 NASB)
The Law of the Old Testament contained various instructions on food. For the Israelites, this resulted in them being set apart from the nations around them. These things were “a mere shadow of what was to come; but the fulness belongs to Christ.” (Col. 2:17). In Him, we are “a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession” (1Pe. 2:9). As a holy nation, we are still different from the world around us, but the difference is not “according to the traditions of men, according to the elementary principles of the world” (Col. 2:8). We are different because Christ lives in us. We are justified by His precious blood and sanctified by the Holy Spirit (2Thess. 2:13). Our soul is purified by obedience to the truth (1Pe. 1:22). It is not obedience through our own efforts, but through faith. The Spirit of Christ living in us give us grace to obey. We walk in this grace by faith. We need not struggle to believe. We simply rest in the confidence that God is working in us and He will complete the work He has begun (Phil. 1:6; 2:1).
Thank You, Lord Jesus, for living in me, transforming me into Your image. I walk in the Spirit through the measure of faith You have given me. Thank You, Holy Spirit, for helping me put to death the deeds of the flesh. The Law of the Spirit in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death. (Rom. 12:3; 8:13; 8:2).
