A devotional reflection on reading Scripture together as a family to build faith across generations.
Bible Reading Plans
A family reading plan strengthens hearts and homes through God’s Word. This plan brings families together around Scripture, fostering conversation, prayer, and shared spiritual growth. It helps children learn the stories of the Bible and gives parents opportunities to model faith and guide their household in truth.
And these words… thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children. (Deuteronomy 6:6-7)
As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD. (Joshua 24:15)
One generation shall praise thy works to another. (Psalm 145:4)
Christian Application
This plan encourages believers that God uses His Word to shape families, strengthen bonds, and plant seeds of lifelong faith. Read one chapter together each evening, choosing books suited for family discussion such as Genesis, Psalms, Proverbs, the Gospels, and Acts.
Sample Prayer
Lord, bless our home as we gather around Your Word. Knit our hearts together in truth and love. Amen.
Hymns for Bible Reading Plans
This devotional pairs well with the hymns Savior Like a Shepherd Lead Us by Dorothy Thrupp, Jesus Loves Me by Anna Warner, and Blest Be the Tie That Binds by John Fawcett.
