Enjoy monthly topical studies? Or just don\u2019t know where to start reading and need a little bit of a guide? Then this post is for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">See below to download a free monthly Bible reading plan to supplement your time in the Word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:25px\">Before You Start<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Remember to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-size:18px\">Pray for the Holy Spirit\u2019s guidance before you read.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:18px\">Take your time with each verse.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:18px\">Be careful not to simply rush through the reading to \u201ccheck-off\u201d your time with God on your to-do list.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:18px\">Apply Scripture to your life.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:18px\">Trust the Holy Spirit to bring understanding and wisdom as you read.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">We are to meditate on Scripture, which means we are to roll it over and over in our mind. Focusing on one verse a day is a good place to start if you struggle to keep your mind focused on the Word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:25px\">Use The Plan At Any Time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Each reading plan has 30-31 verses to cover each day of the month, but a specific month name was left off the downloadable plan so that you can use it anytime or come back to it again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:25px\">Topic Of The Month<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Hello friends! I hope you\u2019ve enjoyed this past month\u2019s Bible readings about freedom and that it has brought fresh encouragement and hope into your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">September&#8217;s Bible reading plan is all about <strong>Illumination<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.unsplash.com\/photo-1532379748758-4e2e95291f17?ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;ixid=M3wxMjA3fDB8MHxzZWFyY2h8OXx8dHJlZXMlMjBsaWdodHxlbnwwfDB8MHx8fDA%3D&amp;auto=format&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=600&amp;q=60\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">The light of God\u2019s Word is a lamp for our lives. His guidance brings illumination to our life as we trust Him for understanding and wisdom in both daily and major decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">I can be a pretty indecisive person, and a lot of times I doubt my decision-making ability and question whether I\u2019m making the correct choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">It\u2019s reassuring to know I don\u2019t have to live life based on my own wisdom or understanding to guide my choices, but that I can rely on and rest in God\u2019s ability to guide and lead me.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ellagrace.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Sep-Monthly-Reading-List-Illumination-791x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-262\" width=\"396\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ellagrace.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Sep-Monthly-Reading-List-Illumination-791x1024.png 791w, https:\/\/ellagrace.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Sep-Monthly-Reading-List-Illumination-232x300.png 232w, https:\/\/ellagrace.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Sep-Monthly-Reading-List-Illumination-768x994.png 768w, https:\/\/ellagrace.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Sep-Monthly-Reading-List-Illumination-1187x1536.png 1187w, https:\/\/ellagrace.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Sep-Monthly-Reading-List-Illumination.png 1545w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 396px) 100vw, 396px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">As we\u2019ll read in a later verse, the Holy Spirit guides us into all truth and leads us in the way we should go (John 16:13).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">When we are afraid of making the wrong decision, we can trust that our steps are established by the Lord and as we have the mind of Christ, we are able to make wise choices (1 Corinthians 2:16).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Even if we make a decision on which we later reflect and feel was not the best, God always works all things out for our good (Romans. 8:28). He promises to support us with His hand and lead us on level ground as we seek His voice and His Word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">If you\u2019re in a period of life right now where you\u2019re tasked with a choice to make and feel lost and overwhelmed (as most of us usually are), it\u2019s my prayer and hope that these verses throughout the month of September will bring peace to your soul and mind as you rest in the comfort of knowing that God\u2019s got you and He\u2019ll lead you in your every step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:25px\">Click below to download the PDF of your free Bible reading plan!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1N4QyHa24aKXTwk0YS1HIosVAkl5FEldp\/view?usp=sharing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Download Monthly Bible Reading Plan<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.unsplash.com\/photo-1506528711705-6e457832d576?ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;ixid=M3wxMjA3fDB8MHxzZWFyY2h8MTZ8fGlsbHVtaW5hdGlvbnxlbnwwfDB8MHx8fDA%3D&amp;auto=format&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=600&amp;q=60\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:25px\">Want to get more out of the monthly reading plan?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Weekly Devotionals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">There are weekly devotionals posted on Wednesdays here on the blog that focuses on one of the verses from the plan\u2019s reading during that week.
