The Bible isn’t a boring book. But sooner or later, regardless of your zeal for Scripture, it’s going to feel boring. Fortunately, re-igniting that zeal isn’t terribly complicated. There are a number of ways (Murray gives us 12) to shake off the dust and see the Bible again for what it truly is—the most life-giving book there is. […]

I would suggest that using different editions (same translation, but with a different page layout) can also be helpful as they still get us away from the familiar pages we’ve read before. I especially recommend trying a Reader’s Version that eliminates potential distractions (section headings, verse numbers, etc.) and gives implicit permission to simply read and delight in the inspired biblical literature.

The point here is to re-ignite Bible reading and draw our attention back to the text and the God who spoke it.
