The quiet place could vary depending on your circumstances. Keep your Bible, a pen, your journal, devotional Book and a reading plan their. A comfortable chair in a quiet place in your home with a good reading light. Have a specific place you go to each day for your daily devotions. Finding the right place is very important for your success. Lying in bed with the lights off is not the best place as failure is inevitable. There is no set of rules of what your devotional time will look like, but here are some step by step ways to be successful with your quiet time with God.

Then read the rest of the New Testament starting at Romans and going to Revelation.Next read "Galatians." It deals with the reasons why we do not follow the Old Testament Laws in a more simplified way than does Romans or Hebrews.Both Luke and Acts are written by Apostle Paul's traveling companion Luke. It describes the early church and contains the examples of New Testament conversions. Then read "Acts." Acts is a continuation of Luke. Next read "Luke" Both Luke and Acts are written by Apostle Paul's traveling companion Luke.Next read "Mark." It is written in chronological order.Next read "Matthew." It goes into better detail of some events and adds more about Jesus.(John is the 4th Book in the New Testament). First read "Gospel of John." It contains a lot of the life of Jesus not before read, especially his last two weeks before the crucifixion.Now with those in mind, let's lay out the way to read the Bible to let it build on itself: Don't take what you want it to say with you first. Forget everything you have ever heard about Jesus, God and the Bible before you start reading the Bible.We need to follow God's will for us today. The New Testament is what is binding on us today. Start with the New Testament, people who start with the Old Testament almost never read the Bible all the way through.Take breaks often or stay with about 2-4 chapters a day. Do not read large amounts of the Bible in one setting.You may discover the answers later in your reading. If you still do not understand, write down the problem area and continue onward. When you are reading and come across something that does not make sense, reread the paragraph or chapter again.It is only human nature to take ideas out of context. Never read the Bible trying to proof your belief on any subject.
Ask for guidance and to be able to accept what is written and to be able to apply His will to your life. Some ground rules need to be set up first: It is better to read by paragraph, these too are man-made but they do conform better to the original language than verses. Remember when reading the Bible the verses and chapter breaks are placed in the scriptures by man.
You cannot go to chapter 1 and read everything about God and go to chapter 2 to read everything about Jesus, etc. The Bible however is not arranged like an encyclopedia.
