Read Through the Bible in Two Years – 2026 update!

Today I’m starting the second year of the two-year Bible plan. If you’d like to begin with Day 1 of Year 1, you should begin with John 1.

For several years, I did a “Read Through the Bible in One Year” plan. I think it’s important to read the entire Bible, every word of it, and I’m glad that I’ve done that, but, I’ve found that the whole Bible in one year is a lot to absorb. It doesn’t give me much time to reflect and meditate on what I’ve read, so I decided I wanted to do a “Read Through the Bible in Two Years” plan. Simple enough, right? Wrong.

So, I made my own and I’d love to have you join me.

The plan is set up to read through each book of the Bible from beginning to end, alternating between Old Testament and New Testament books. I tried to keep the Old Testament books in chronological order. For example, Job is read after Genesis and before Exodus. I also intentionally placed New Testament books with related Old Testament books to help us see the connections in the text. For example, Hebrews is read between Leviticus and Numbers. I love to read one chapter of Luke every day from December 1-24, so each year ends with reading the book of Luke.

You’ll also notice that the Bible reading plan is set up week by week rather than day by day. One week you will devote every day to the four chapters of Philippians. In this weekly format, you could read the whole book on the first day of the week, then reread little parts the other six days … or you could read half of each chapter every day. You decide. Another week you’re assigned to read fourteen chapters of Leviticus – you might read several chapters one day and just one chapter another. Having a week by week format allows you this flexibility, but still keeps you on target.

Stop Trusting in Horses and Chariots. Start Trusting in God. Isaiah 30-32. 2026

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 149-150, Isaiah 30-32

The Israelites put their trust in Egypt to save them, rather than God. Where is our trust?

Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help and rely on horses, who trust in chariots because they are many and in horsemen because they are very strong, but do not look to the Holy One of Israel or consult the LORD! … The Egyptians are man, and not God, and their horses are flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD stretches out his hand, the helper will stumble, and he who is helped will fall, and they will all perish together.

Isaiah 31:1, 3 ESV


Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.

Psalm 20:7 ESV

Praise the LORD!

Praise God in his sanctuary;
praise him in his mighty heavens!

Praise him for his mighty deeds;
praise him according to his excellent greatness!

Praise him with trumpet sound;
praise him with lute and harp!
Praise him with tambourine and dance;
praise him with strings and pipe!
Praise him with sounding cymbals;
praise him with loud clashing cymbals!

Let everything that has breath praise the LORD! Praise the LORD!

Psalm 150 ESV

God is an Expert Farmer. Isaiah 28-29. 2026

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 148, Isaiah 28-29

Give ear, and hear my voice;
give attention, and hear my speech.
Does he who plows for sowing plow continually?
Does he continually open and harrow his ground? When he has leveled its surface,
does he not scatter dill, sow cumin,
and put in wheat in rows
and barley in its proper place,
and emmer as the border?
For he is rightly instructed; his God teaches him.

Dill is not threshed with a threshing sledge,
nor is a cart wheel rolled over cumin,
but dill is beaten out with a stick,
and cumin with a rod.
Does one crush grain for bread?
No, he does not thresh it forever;
when he drives his cart wheel over it
with his horses, he does not crush it.

This also comes from the LORD of hosts;
he is wonderful in counsel
and excellent in wisdom.

Isaiah 28:23-29 ESV


A farmer doesn’t only plow; he knows when to stop plowing and when to level the ground, when to plant, and what to plant where. A farmer uses different tools at different times and works them all together to produce crops. In the same way, God knows what instruments to use in our lives, and when to use them. We don’t have to doubt or despair at what God is doing in our lives, because He is an expert farmer, working on us with all His wisdom.

How to Live in Perfect Peace. Isaiah 26-27. 2026

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 147, Isaiah 26-27

I’ve been wrestling with some stuff lately. How about you? I was so thankful for today’s verses, Isaiah 26:3-4 ESV, “You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD GOD is an everlasting rock.”

Pray with me.

Are You Looking to God… or Yourself? Isaiah 22-23. 2026

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 145, Isaiah 22-23

He has taken away the covering of Judah. In that day you looked to the weapons of the House of the Forest, and you saw that the breaches of the city of David were many. You collected the waters of the lower pool, and you counted the houses of Jerusalem, and you broke down the houses to fortify the wall. You made a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool. But you did not look to him who did it, or see him who planned it long ago.

Isaiah 22:8-11 ESV

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.

Proverbs 3:5-6 ESV

God Calls for a Faithful Watchman. Isaiah 19-21. 2026

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 144, Isaiah 19-21

GOD CALLS FOR A FAITHFUL WATCHMAN.

He did it in Isaiah’s day, and in Ezekiel’s day, and I think He’s still doing it today. Are we faithfully watching and speaking? Are we trustworthy ambassadors for the kingdom of Christ?

For thus the Lord said to me: “Go, set a watchman; let him announce what he sees. When he sees riders, horsemen in pairs, riders on donkeys, riders on camels, let him listen diligently, very diligently.”

Then he who saw cried out:
“Upon a watchtower I stand, O Lord, continually by day, and at my post I am stationed whole nights. And behold, here come riders, horsemen in pairs!”

And he answered,
“Fallen, fallen is Babylon; and all the carved images of her gods he has shattered to the ground.”

O my threshed and winnowed one,
what I have heard from the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, I announce to you.

Isaiah 21:6-10 ESV

The word of the LORD came to me: “Son of man, speak to your people and say to them, If I bring the sword upon a land, and the people of the land take a man from among them, and make him their watchman, and if he sees the sword coming upon the land and blows the trumpet and warns the people, then if anyone who hears the sound of the trumpet does not take warning, and the sword comes and takes him away, his blood shall be upon his own head. He heard the sound of the trumpet and did not take warning; his blood shall be upon himself. But if he had taken warning, he would have saved his life.

But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, so that the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any one of them, that person is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at the watchman’s hand.

So you, son of man, I have made a watchman for the house of Israel. Whenever you hear a word from my mouth, you shall give them warning from me. If I say to the wicked, O wicked one, you shall surely die, and you do not speak to warn the wicked to turn from his way, that wicked person shall die in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand. But if you warn the wicked to turn from his way, and he does not turn from his way, that person shall die in his iniquity, but you will have delivered your soul.”

Ezekiel 33:1-9 ESV

Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.

Tips for REMEMBERING the God of Your Salvation. Isaiah 17-18. 2026

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 143, Isaiah 17-18

For you have forgotten the God of your salvation and have not remembered the Rock of your refuge;

Isaiah 17:10a ESV

I have a terrible memory. Ask my husband. Ask my children. Ask my sister. I have to make lists and take photos and set alarms. But I don’t want to forget about my good, good Father!

Satan does not need to make us bank robbers or murderers to destroy us. It is quite enough to simply make us forget. We can forget because of sleepiness, we can forget because of a lack of attention, we can forget because we are distracted. Satan doesn’t care much about how he does it, but he does want us to forget the God of our salvation.

David Guzik

Here are a few ideas from my own life.

I Stand Amazed in the Presence of Jesus the Nazarene. Isaiah 13-14. 2026

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 141, Isaiah 13-14

My Savior’s Love

I stand amazed in the presence
of Jesus the Nazarene,
and wonder how he could love me,
a sinner, condemned unclean.
How marvelous! How wonderful!
and my song shall ever be;
How marvelous! How wonderful!
is my Savior’s love to me!”

Charles H. Gabriel (1856-1932)

Behold, the day of the LORD comes, cruel, with wrath and fierce anger, to make the land a desolation and to destroy its sinners from it.

Isaiah 13:9 ESV

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 6:23 ESV

From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

Matthew 4:17 ESV

Seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he sat down, his disciples came to him. And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying:

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

“Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.

“Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.

“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.

“Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

“Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.”

Matthew 5:1-12 ESV

Tools in the Master’s Hands. Isaiah 10-12. 2026

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 140, Isaiah 10-12

When the Lord has finished all his work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, he will punish the speech of the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria and the boastful look in his eyes.

For [the king] says: “By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom, for I have understanding;
I remove the boundaries of peoples,
and plunder their treasures; like a bull I bring down those who sit on thrones….”

Shall the axe boast over him who hews with it, or the saw magnify itself against him who wields it?

Isaiah 10:12-13, 15a ESV

If it is easy for an unknowing instrument of God to become proud, it is also easy for a willing instrument of God to become proud.

Jesus said we should have a different attitude: So likewise you, when you have done all those things which you are commanded, say, “We are unprofitable servants. We have done what was our duty to do.” (Luke 17:10) As wonderful as it is to be an instrument in the hand of God, the instrument deserves no special glory.
