Read Through the Bible in Two Years – 2026 update!

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

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.

MAKING A RESPECTFUL APPEAL. Philemon. 2026

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 40-41, Philemon

Accordingly, though I am bold enough in Christ to command you to do what is required, yet for love’s sake I prefer to appeal to you—I, Paul, an old man and now a prisoner also for Christ Jesus— I appeal to you for my child, Onesimus, whose father I became in my imprisonment.

Philemon 1:8-10 ESV

PERFECT JESUS … MESSED UP ME. Bonus Day: Colossians 1. 2026

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 39

Colossians 1:15-22 ESV —

“[Jesus] is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him.

And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.

And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him,”

Thank you, Lord!

LEADERS LEAD WITH PRAYER. Bonus Day: Colossians 1. 2026

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 38. (Bonus Day: Colossians 1)

This summer our Shelby County TN LifeWise leadership team read Lead with Prayer by Skoog, Greer, and Doolittle. They wrote, “This modern practice of outsourcing prayer to staff or volunteers while we pursue other obligations and opportunities of leadership is largely a deception among Western Christians that keeps us from becoming prayer leaders. Jesus never taught this, the disciples modeled the opposite, and there is no historic church leader who endorsed the idea of delegating prayer only to those deemed most fit for the role of intercessor.” Amen.

And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him: bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; being strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy; giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light.

Colossians 1:9-12 ESV

Friends, Paul didn’t delegate prayer to someone else. Paul LEAD with prayer. So did Jesus. Let’s follow their example.

Please pray for your family and for your own walk with the Lord. Please pray for your church and your community. Please pray for me, for LifeWise Academy chapters across America, and for the gospel to increase and bear fruit.

Great is Thy Faithfulness. Lamentations 3. 2026

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 35, Lamentations 3

Another “coffee mug” verse that is so much richer when you read it in context. The Lord’s mercies are indeed unending – even in the darkest valleys.

The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
“The LORD is my portion,” says my soul,
“therefore I will hope in him.”

The LORD is good to those who wait for him,
to the soul who seeks him.
It is good that one should wait quietly
for the salvation of the LORD.
It is good for a man that he bear
the yoke in his youth.

Lamentations 3:22-27 ESV

False Teachings Mislead and Deceive. Lamentations 1-2. 2026

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 33-34, Lamentations 1-2

Your prophets have seen for you false and deceptive visions; they have not exposed your iniquity to restore your fortunes, but have seen for you oracles that are false and misleading.

Lamentations 2:14 ESV

  • Truth: The wages of sin is death.
  • Truth: The gift of God is eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ.
  • Truth: You’re a great sinner.
  • Truth: Jesus is a great Savior.
  • Truth: Heaven is a wonderful place
  • Truth: Not everyone is going there.
  • Truth: God is so holy, no man could survive in His presence.
  • Truth: The blood of Jesus, fully God-fully man, perfect and powerful, is sufficient to cover all our sins, by God’s grace through our faith

Believe the whole truth.
Tell the whole truth.

Creation Clearly Displays God’s Power and Wisdom. Jeremiah 51-52. 2026

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 32, Jeremiah 51-52

It is he who made the earth by his power, who established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding stretched out the heavens.

Jeremiah 51:15 ESV

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them.

For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.

For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened.

Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.

Romans 1:18-23 ESV

God Opposes the Proud but Gives Grace to the Humble: Jeremiah 48-49 meets 1 Peter 5 and Philippines 2. 2026

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 30, Jeremiah 48-49

For, because you trusted in your works and your treasures, you also shall be taken …

We have heard of the pride of Moab — he is very proud— of his loftiness, his pride, and his arrogance, and the haughtiness of his heart.

Jeremiah 48:7a, 29 ESV

Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for ‘God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.’ Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you.

1 Peter 5:5b-6 ESV

Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.

Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.

Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Philippians 2:3-11 ESV
