Summer is the perfect time to try a new Bible reading adventure! Instead of trying to read the whole Bible in a few days (which would be pretty overwhelming!), why not break it down into fun, manageable chunks?

Here are some cool summer Bible reading ideas:

• Read one chapter from Proverbs and five Psalms every day for a month.
• Pick one Bible character (like David, Daniel, or Esther) and read their whole story.
• Read through one of the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John) to learn more about Jesus.
• Choose a topic you’re curious about (like friendship, courage, or God’s love) and find verses about it throughout the summer.

The best part about having a summer Bible reading plan is that you’ll be a wiser, stronger Christian by the time school starts again! It’s like physical exercise for your soul—the more you read God’s Word, the stronger your faith becomes.

Just like a tree that grows strong and healthy when it’s planted by a river (because it gets plenty of water), your spiritual life grows strong and healthy when you regularly “drink” from God’s Word!

Take Action: Pick one of the summer Bible reading ideas above, or come up with your own! Ask your parents to help you make a reading chart where you can check off each day you read. Maybe you could even read together as a family and talk about what you learned. Set a goal to become a Bible expert by the end of summer!
