Why read one Bible chapter a day?

Reading a chapter a day means choosing consistency over intensity. Instead of reading long sections once in a while, you keep a short but daily appointment with God's word. This approach has several advantages:

How long does it take to read the whole Bible at one chapter a day?

The Bible has 1,189 chapters in total: 929 in the Old Testament and 260 in the New Testament. Reading one chapter each day, you go through the entire Scriptures in a little over three years. If that feels too slow, you can read two or three chapters a day — the New Testament alone then takes just a few months.

The point is not speed, but never stopping completely. One chapter a day, sustained over time, will always take you further than a big burst followed by a long pause.
