One of the easiest ways to do this is to participate in Abby's 25 Days of God-Given Gifts at Little Birdie Blessings. Abby has beautiful free graphics -- like the one above -- for each day, as well as verses and illustrations for each God-given gift. These readings are not lengthy but they are most meaningful, so you might wish to go over and look at this series each day, maybe writing out the verses and even journaling them using the SOAP method of meditating on Scripture. Abby also provides links to follow the series on Facebook, Pinterest, or Instagram.
Another relatively easy way to do an Advent study is by doing a Scripture writing challenge. You can find a number of Scripture writing and journaling plans at Rachel Wojo, among other places. For this month, I am doing the plan titled The Light, from Rachel Wojo. It has already been a blessing!
The Road to Christmas, from Love God Greatly is an Advent study I've done in the past and highly recommend. God With Us is another Advent study I've done from Love God Greatly. It seems as if the journal and reading plan may be downloaded for free on their site, but if you want to purchase the book it may be found on Amazon.
Another Advent study I have done which I greatly enjoyed in the past was this free download from Good Morning Girls: Keeping Our Hearts Focused on Jesus.
Even though you might be a day or two late in starting these Bible studies, I definitely suggest starting one if you can make the time. You will gain so much from an Advent study. It is never too late to begin a good Bible study that may impact your life for eternity!
For one final bit of inspiration, you might visit my Christmas devotionals Pinterest board. Lots of good reads there, and also a Christmas-themed Scripture writing plan that, again, it wouldn't be too late to start.
I hope you'll decide to try a Bible study or reading plan for December!
Thank you for including thr Advent Readings List. I have added it to my notes for, yes, I was considering what I might do specifically for this season’s Bible reading. I have a list for Advent Sundays, but this daily list will be so helpful. I do love Abby’s Advent graphics. I am using them on my tree.

DeleteYou are welcome, Vee! I hope it's a blessing to you.
Yes, Abby's graphics -- using them on the tree is a lovely idea. And, it just occurred to me -- wouldn't these be amazing made into a tag book?!
My husband and I have done an Advent Study all 12 years we have been married. It adds a lot to the Christmas season. The one we just started this year is awesome. Everyone should do one.
ReplyDeleteThat is wonderful, Kathy! What a blessing to do that Advent study together each year! Maybe when my hubby retires, we can do something similar.
DeleteWe are reading a chapter a day of Luke during Advent. It's all there!!
ReplyDeleteYes, it is indeed all there! Good idea to read a chapter of Luke each day!
