WHEN TO READ THE BIBLE

READ THE BIBLE PRIVATELY:

8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. (Josh 1:8 NKJV)
2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night. 3 He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper. (Ps 1:2-3 NKJV)

READ THE BIBLE IN THE CONGREGATION:

34 And afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessings and the cursings, according to all that is written in the Book of the Law (Josh 8:34 NKJV)
