Welcome to the Magnificent Power Bible reading plan & journal challenge!! The number one request I receive about the monthly challenge is: “Could you please share the Bible reading plan earlier?” I am working to do just that, Friends. I really am! But here we are for September. For many of us, this month is a bit of a reset to routine and a great time to begin a new Bible reading plan. Think with me for a moment about what would happen if you took a month to recognize that…
GOD IS BIGGER THAN ANYTHING!
Blessed are you, O Lord, the God of Israel our father, forever and ever. Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and you are exalted as head above all. Both riches and honor come from you, and you rule over all. In your hand are power and might, and in your hand, it is to make great and to give strength to all. And now we thank you, our God, and praise your glorious name. 1 Chronicles 29:10-13
In the Scripture before the passage above, David announced that Solomon would now be king and the work of building a temple for the Lord would be under his direction. He tells the people that he has made financial provisions for the building, but he asks the people of Israel to consecrate their hearts to this project and give whatever they can. After collecting all the offerings, the people rejoiced and David prayed this prayer. David knew that no matter the budget, God is the One who would provide all power and strength for the task ahead.
GOD IS BIGGER THAN…
Go ahead. Fill in the blank with whatever it is that you need to remember.
Is it an upcoming schedule change? Oh yes, he is bigger. How about a recent family crisis? He has every member in the palm of his hand. A new job? He’s got it all under control.
How can we fill our minds with the faith to remember that God is sovereign over every human being and his power extends from the vast universe to the tiniest molecule? By saturating our hearts and minds with his word! Let’s begin!
MAGNIFICENT POWER BIBLE READING CHALLENGE
Welcome to the Magnificent Power Bible reading challenge! If you’ve never joined a Bible reading challenge here before, each day we follow the plan and read the passage. You can share what you are learning on social media or just keep it between you and God. My goal through the reading is to draw closer to Jesus, and I want that for you too!
For this month, we will use the hashtags #magnificentpower #godisbiggerjournal and #biblereadingplan. Almost every day, I post on Instagram or Facebook about what I’m learning through the passages and sometimes I post the Bible journaling pages I work on throughout the study.
On Fridays, I post a summary of what I learned through the week here on the blog and invite you to share what God is teaching you in the comments.
ABOUT THE BIBLE READING PLAN AND JOURNAL
Last November, God began working in my heart to step the monthly Bible Reading Challenge up another notch. Personally the Lord has convinced me that soaking in his word each day is the best soul treatment I could possibly encounter. So while our community has completed Bible reading challenges for several years, I knew God was asking me to provide a stronger tool than the simple Bible reading plan I offer each month.
As a result, I created a Bible reading plan and journal combination. This resource is designed to provide a topical theme for 31 days of Bible reading passages. Topical Bible reading plans are fantastic for folks seeking to study a certain subject in the Bible. They are also great for new Christians who aren’t sure where or how to get started reading their Bible on a regular basis.This is what one of our readers wrote about the Purposeful Pause: Waiting on God’s Perfect Timing Bible reading plan we worked through in July:
I read Rachel’s blog and she is always encouraging, so I decided to jump in and try one of her reading plans and journals. This one has been great. It’s just the right amount of Bible teaching and listening to yourself and what God wants to tell you. Waiting for things to happen, or not, is something most of us now don’t like to do, but God does have his timing. This study is making me sit back and be aware of what is happening and perhaps why God is making me wait. If you are thinking about giving a Bible study a try, I would highly recommend this.
IMPORTANT NOTE
I truly long to provide practical, spiritual resources because I know that is a work God has called me to do. Last month, I expanded the journal from one page a day to two pages a day, and yet I believe it is still something the average person can complete within a reasonable span of time on a personal level.
If you’re looking for an in-depth Bible study, these slim Bible study guides may not be the right fit for you. (Check out this FREE video Bible study for more depth!) I designed these particular Bible reading plans and journals to be doable on a consistent, daily basis.

Praying, Shirley!!
I’ve been subscribed for the longest time, but this is my first reading challenge. God led me here and I am so excited!!
So thrilled you joined in! I hope you are finding it to be exactly what you need.
I’m in! And I ordered my journal on Amazon!! Thank for a nice affordable resource that takes me to a higher level than what I’ve been doing!
You are so very welcome! Blessings on your readings!
I love your studies. I learn more and more each time.
same for me, Vicki! God does that for us. His Word is beyond words. 🙂
God is so great! He knew that we would need a reminder of how big He is in the midst of all the damage the hurricane has brought. His timing is perfect! I am so thankful that you write these!
Blessings, Jess!
Just ordered it. Hoping it arrives on time.
We’re working hard to release sooner. Next year will be fantastic as we walk through the journals we released this year and everyone will have plenty of time to order or choose a different one than we work on if they feel the need. 🙂
I’m in. 🙂 So enjoy reading God’s word with you!
Dear Rachel,
I bumped into your website at a time I was seeking for a christian female mentor. while we have not met, I have been encouraged by your posts and the your book “One More Step”, which spoke so directly to some of my personal fears and worries. I thank God you wrote it. The challenges of your life, yet the joy that the Lord has given you to remain faithful is a testimony by itself.
Just as I receive from you, every beginning of the month, I share with another group of ladies the bible reading plan and I know it has become a useful element of their daily lives.
You have blessed many through the writings, and I can only pray that the Lord continues to water you even as you water others. Proverbs 11:25 is my prayer for you, in Jesus name.
How wonderful, Njeri! I pray that those who receive it continue to pass God’s Word on to others. What a sweet verse to pray over me!! Some day we’ll meet, whether on earth or in heaven. 🙂
