I encourage you to establish a daily time reading, studying, and meditating on God's word. You can search and find online many suitable "Daily Devotional" publications. Bible Gateway provides a diverse and ever-growing library of online devotionals.
I use the following devotionals, and find them helpful.

"Encounter with God" is published by Scripture Union.
According to Scripture Union, Encounter with God is "designed for readers who want a thoughtful, in-depth approach to systematic Bible reading.” Encounter with God takes you through all the books of the Bible in a five year cycle reading approximately 10-20 verses each day.
I like Encounter with God because it stays with several chapters of the Bible sequentially before moving to other sections of the Bible.
Scripture Union provides Encounter with God in both print and digital format.

Each of the following publications feature daily meditations with a short portion of scripture and a brief prayer. Each day's meditation is on a different topic.
"The Upper Room" is published by The Upper Room and offers both print and digital subscriptions.
"The Secret Place" is published by Judson Press and offers print subscriptions.
"Our Daily Bread" is published by Our Daily Bread Ministries. Our Daily Bread offers print and email subscriptions as well as apps for iOS and Android devices.
Suggestion:
In addition to reading a daily devotional message, I suggest that you also follow a systematic Bible reading plan. A systematic Bible reading plan will provide you a list of Bible chapters or verses to read each day. The plan will help you read the entire Bible over a period of time such as one to five years.
Bible Gateway offers several interesting reading plans.
"Our Daily Bread" includes a reading plan, "Bible in a Year."
"Encounter with God" (Scripture Union) will take you through the New Testament twice in five years and through the Old Testament once in five years.
BibleStudyTools provides a list of several Bible reading plans.
