Sunday Scripture Reading Plan for the Week: 7 Days of Bible Reading (Oct 4 to 10)

A simple 7-day Bible reading plan for the week of October 4 to 10, 2026. Short daily passages on strength, trust and peace, with reflection questions.

Sunday Scripture Reading Plan for the Week: 7 Days of Bible Reading (Oct 4 to 10)

Starting the week with a plan makes it far easier to stay in God’s Word. This 7-day plan uses short passages (about five minutes a day), so it works for busy people in the USA, UK, Canada, Nigeria and anywhere else. The theme is walking with God through the week.

Why Follow a Weekly Reading Plan?

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” (Psalm 119:105, KJV)

A plan removes the daily question of “What should I read?” and builds consistency. Even a few verses a day, read thoughtfully, can change your week.

The 7-Day Plan

Read: Psalm 122 and Hebrews 10:19-25

Read: Isaiah 40:25-31
Think about: Where do I need my strength renewed?

Tuesday, October 6: Faith Over Fear

Read: Isaiah 41:8-13
Think about: What fear can I hand to God today?

Wednesday, October 7: God Is Our Refuge

How to Get the Most From Each Reading

1. Pray First

Ask, “Lord, open my eyes to see wonderful things in Your law” (Psalm 119:18).

2. Read Slowly

Read the passage twice if you can. Let one phrase stand out.

3. Write One Line

Note one truth, one question or one promise in a notebook or phone.

4. Apply It

Choose one small action for the day.

5. Pray It Back

Finish by turning what you read into a short prayer.

Tips for Staying Consistent

• Read at the same time and place each day.
• Keep your Bible or Bible app where you can see it.
• Invite a friend or family member to follow the plan with you.
• If you miss a day, just continue the next day. There is no failure in Bible reading.

Closing Prayer

Father, thank You for Your Word. Give me a hunger to read it daily and the grace to live it out. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
