Plans by stage

Mature Believer.

The Prophets, the Law read for what it points to rather than as a rulebook, the Psalms and Proverbs held together with Job's and Ecclesiastes' harder questions, apocalyptic visions in Daniel and Revelation — this is where the material every earlier tier set aside finally has room.

None of it is easy reading, and it isn't meant to be rushed. It rewards someone who's already comfortable in Scripture and ready to sit with books that ask more before they give up their meaning.

Optional, in the app

Add a companion reading.

Alongside any plan, you can add a short daily reading. Turn on any of them, or alternate the Psalm and Proverb from day to day.

  • Psalm of the Day

    One psalm a day, working through the whole Psalter.

  • Proverb of the Day

    One chapter of Proverbs a day, cycling every 31 days.

  • Gospel of the Day

    One Gospel at a time: Mark, John, Luke, then Matthew. It waits while your plan already includes a Gospel, then picks up where you left off.

Companion readings need a free account in the Standfirm app.
