For my annual Bible reading, I like to start with Psalms, Proverbs, and Matthew in January. There are two reasons for this: one, they are three of my favorite Bible books; two, it gives me a good jumpstart on the year's reading.
Being a Christ-follower, I love to read Bible verses. Being a mathematician, I love to count Bible verses.
There are 31,102 verses in the Bible. Psalms has 2462; Proverbs 915; Matthew 1071. Thus, my numbers-oriented brain tells me that by the end of January I have completed about 14% of the Bible within 8.3% of the year.
Math nerds, even spiritual ones, think like this. Scary, isn't it? But be that as it may, this January Bible start-up idea works for me. Try it for yourself.
