A WAY TO READ SCRIPTURE ON DAILY BASIS

    This link will take you to the site of the Book of Common Prayer daily lectionary. A lectionary is just a scheme whereby Scripture is suggested for daily or Sunday use.
    When you open the link it should open to that day's date. If not you can adjust it with either the calendar on the right or the arrows to the left and right of the date - on the left side of the page.
   
The translation is the English Standard Version of the Bible - a
fine translation. You may wish to purchase a copy of this version to follow the readings. They come in a variety of prices and styles.
     Reading down the page and you will find a summary of the lessons for the day.  Note this about the Psalms: Ps. 119:1-24. [Morning]  Ps. 12, 13, 14 [Evening]. You can tell morning from evening Psalms because they are separated by a semicolon.
     Scrolling down notice that next to the citation there is a hot link to listen to the reading. This is the great part of the site. So, I read from my English Standard Version as I listen to the reading. It's great.
     As I read I mark up my English Standard Version Bible. I take no care for artistry. I make hasty circles, lines, symbols and etc. 
     I hope this helps and is one more stimulus to your spiritual growth. This is a super site.

MORE SUGGESTIONS

1.  Before you read ask the Lord to speak to you based on where you are in your life, your concerns, your needs, your difficulties and etc.
 
2.  Don't feel like you need to read or listen to
all appointed for the day unless that's manageable to you and not discouraging.
 
3.  If you miss a day either go back - or - move on. Don't feel burdened by what was left undone. Being burdened defeats the purpose.
