Bible Reading Update For February 2021

At the end of every month I post a Bible reading update.
My purpose of posting what I’ve read is for two reasons:

Bible Reading Plans for 2021

Start the new year with a Bible reading plan. I’ve come across several choices in reading plans.
Ligonier Ministries has put together a long list of Bible reading plans. My favorite is the five day challenge. There is a reading plan for five days of the week. The other two days are catch-up days.
Tim Challies also likes the five day Bible reading plan. At the link you can download or printout the plan.
Bible.com has a Bible reading plan.
Bible Gateway has a long list of Bible reading plans.
Back to the Bible has a chronological Bible reading plan.
The Bible Challenge-A Daily Guide to Reading the Bible in a year.
My friend Becky at Operation Actually Read Bible has had several posts about different Bible reading plan choices. For example, Bible Reading Goals. Bible in 90 Days. Alternative Bible in 90 Days Plan. Bible in 90 Days-Jewish OT; Chronological NT. Psalms Saturated Bible Plan 4.0. Psalms Saturated Reading Plan Version 3. Psalms Saturated Reading Plan Version 2.0. And, a 2021 Bible Reading Challenge: Knowable Word. Psalms Saturated Reading Plan Version 1.0.
