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.

Sept 13 (Read: Ps. 107 & 108)
“Who is wise? He is to pay attention to these things, and consider the mercy of the Lord.” (Ps. 107.43 NASB)
This Psalm ends with an admonition to pay attention to God’s justice and mercy. Those whom the Lord has redeemed should give thanks to Him because He is good, and His mercy is everlasting (vs. 1 & 2). Note that the emphasis is on being thankful, not on our sinfulness. Those who wandered away from the Lord fell into the oppression of the enemy. When they cried out to the Lord, He delivered them, nourished them, and healed them. We should not dwell on our failures, but on the mercy and goodness of God. “Give thanks to the Lord for His mercy and for His wonders to the sons of mankind!” (vs. 8). Not only have we been forgiven, but He has done wonders for us like breaking our bondages, feeding our hungry and thirsty soul, and healing our afflictions. After returning to the blessings of the Lord, we should continue to give thanks to the Lord for His mercy and goodness, lest we become lukewarm in our devotion. To be thankful, we do not have to continually ask for mercy for past sins; we have already been forgiven. Our responsibility is to continually give thanks. It is not about how bad we were; it is about how good He is! Our testimony is about His wonderful works (vs. 22).
Thank You, Lord, for saving me from punishment. I was lost and You redeemed me. I was hungry and thirsty for Your presence, and You came to dwell inside me. I was suffering but You healed me from all my afflictions. When troubles come my way, I will remember Your great mercy and goodness and look to Your word to for healing and deliverance. I will tell of Your wonderful works with joyful singing.
