When Scripture Gets Stale

May 7, 2025 By Peter Krol

Glenna Marshall has some keen and practical advice for those who have hit a wall struggling to be consistent in Bible reading.

If you’re following a Bible reading plan, you might be feeling a little weary these days. You’ve plowed through a lot of Old Testament history and law, and there’s a good chance you’re in some very strange Leviticus material. Many reading plans keep you in Psalms year round, but if poetry isn’t your strong suit, you might find the psalms to be overwhelming with imagery, parallelism, and anthropomorphism (try repeating that list three times fast!).

She goes on to give some encouraging and concrete pointers for what to do when you are in this position. And she’s right on target to cheer: “Keep going! Your time in Scripture is never wasted, even if you don’t feel or see immediate results.”

We couldn’t agree more. Check it out!
