Android: Plans

Updated 1 day ago by Zizoh Anto

Overview

"The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom, and whatever you get, get insight." - Proverbs 4:7

Plans are a great way to make the Bible part of your daily life. They give you just a little to read or listen to each day, so you can read the whole Bible in a certain amount of time. YouVersion offers thousands of Plans in dozens of languages, with devotional content designed to help you daily explore and apply wisdom from God’s Word.

You can do a Plan by yourself, or invite friends to join you in a Plan.
