One might enquire about the mechanics of reading the Scripture through seven times a year. I long ago determined to read 27 chapters a day Monday through Thursday which is the bulk of my work-week and 18 chapters a day Friday through Sunday which is the essence of my weekend. That gives a cumulative total of reading the Book through seven times a year with some to spare for sick days or times of unusual schedule. (I often read more on the weekend than prescribed to account for times I might miss during the week.) I have generally broken my reading schedule into three times a day in which I read nine chapters each. That generally is the (1) first thing in the morning when I rise, (2) over the noon hour, and then (3) sometime during the evening prior to bedtime. It has a habit which has kept me in God's Word literally day and night for almost a quarter of a century. - David Henry Sorenson, The Art of Pastoring
