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.

Obey God and Leave the Results in His Hands. Jeremiah 7-8. 2026

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 8, Jeremiah 7-8

Jeremiah 7:27 (ESV), “So you shall speak all these words to them, but they will not listen to you. You shall call to them, but they will not answer you,” encouraged me to simply obey the Lord, to use whatever platform He gives me to speak the truth in love, and then leave the results in His hands. We live in a culture that makes choices based on whether something works, whether it produces the desired results … rather than whether it is right or wrong.

Which reminds me of a hotly contested topic that many people want to avoid:  whether a woman should be allowed (or dare I say encouraged) to abort a child diagnosed prenatally with Down Syndrome.

Take a look and listen to something I posted earlier today for my thoughts on the matter:

Do you Love God’s Word? Or NOT? Jeremiah 5-6. 2026

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 7, Jeremiah 5-6

To whom shall I speak and give warning, that they may hear?

Behold, their ears are uncircumcised,
they cannot listen;

Behold, the word of the LORD is to them an object of scorn; they take no pleasure in it.”

Repent and Return. Jeremiah 3-4. 2026

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 6, Jeremiah 3-4

Go, and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, “Return, faithless Israel, declares the LORD. I will not look on you in anger, for I am merciful, declares the LORD; I will not be angry forever. Only acknowledge your guilt, that you rebelled against the LORD your God and scattered your favors among foreigners under every green tree, and that you have not obeyed my voice, declares the LORD. Return, O faithless children, declares the LORD; for I am your master; I will take you, one from a city and two from a family, and I will bring you to Zion.”

Jeremiah 3:12-14 ESV

This reminded me of the parable of the prodigal son that Jesus told in Luke 15:17-20 ESV

“But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have more than enough bread, but I perish here with hunger!

I will arise and go to my father, and I will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Treat me as one of your hired servants.”’

And he arose and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him.”

When Everyone is Against You. Jeremiah 1-2. 2026

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 5, Jeremiah 1-2

But the LORD said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am only a youth’; for to all to whom I send you, you shall go, and whatever I command you, you shall speak.

Jeremiah 1:7 ESV

“But you, dress yourself for work; arise, and say to them everything that I command you. Do not be dismayed by them, lest I dismay you before them. And I, behold, I make you this day a fortified city, an iron pillar, and bronze walls, against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, its officials, its priests, and the people of the land. They will fight against you, but they shall not prevail against you, for I am with you, declares the LORD, to deliver you.”

Jeremiah 1:17-19 ESV

An EASY WAY to MEMORIZE SCRIPTURE with Index Cards. Colossians 3:1-17 ESV.

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 4

I learned this great way to memorize scripture using both sides of blank index cards. It works GREAT for me. (I also love using my Bible Memory app) Check it out!

Interested in joining me in memorizing Colossians 3:1-17 ESV for the next few months? Leave a comment!

“If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.

Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.

For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. On account of these the wrath of God is coming.

In these you too once walked, when you were living in them. But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth.

Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator.

Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all, and in all.

Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.

And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.

And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”

When the Trees & Vines & Fields are Bare, Yet I Will Rejoice in the Lord. Habakkuk 1-3. 2026

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 2-3, Habakkuk 1-3

What profit is an idol when its maker has shaped it, a metal image, a teacher of lies? For its maker trusts in his own creation when he makes speechless idols!

Woe to him who says to a wooden thing, Awake; to a silent stone, Arise!

Can this teach?
Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver,
and there is no breath at all in it. But the LORD is in his holy temple;
let all the earth keep silence before him.

Habakkuk 2:18-20 ESV

Though the fig tree should not blossom,
nor fruit be on the vines,
the produce of the olive fail
and the fields yield no food,
the flock be cut off from the fold
and there be no herd in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD;
I will take joy in the God of my salvation. GOD, the Lord, is my strength;
he makes my feet like the deer’s;
he makes me tread on my high places.

Habakkuk 3:17-19a ESV

Fear Not! The Lord is in your Midst. Zephaniah 1-3. 2026

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Proverbs 31, Psalm 1, Zephaniah 1-3

At that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps, and I will punish the men who are complacent, those who say in their hearts, ‘The LORD will not do good, nor will he do ill.’

Zephaniah 1:12 ESV

Seek the LORD, all you humble of the land, who do his just commands; seek righteousness; seek humility; perhaps you may be hidden on the day of the anger of the LORD.

Zephaniah 2:3 ESV

On that day it shall be said to Jerusalem: “Fear not, O Zion; let not your hands grow weak. The LORD your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing.”

The Lord will by No Means Clear the Guilty. Nahum 1-3. 2026

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Proverbs 29-30, Nahum 1-3

The LORD is a jealous and avenging God; the LORD is avenging and wrathful; the LORD takes vengeance on his adversaries and keeps wrath for his enemies. The LORD is slow to anger and great in power, and the LORD will by no means clear the guilty.

Nahum 1:2-3a 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

For one will scarcely die for a righteous person —though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die — but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.

Christ Jesus Came into the World to Save Sinners Like Me. 1 Timothy 1. 2026

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Proverbs 15, 1 Timothy 1

I thank him who has given me strength, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he judged me faithful, appointing me to his service, though formerly I was a blasphemer, persecutor, and insolent opponent. But I received mercy because I had acted ignorantly in unbelief, and the grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.

The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost. But I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience as an example to those who were to believe in him for eternal life.

To the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.”

1 Timothy 1:12-17


Maybe you’ve never been an atheist like me.

Neither was Paul.

Maybe you’ve never said ugly, blasphemous, hateful things against the name of God like I did.

Paul didn’t either.

But Paul saw his own sin for what it was – offense against a perfect, righteous, holy, Almighty God.

And he saw himself for who he was – a great sinner saved by an even greater God.

Praise God for His boundless mercy and grace toward sinners like me and you.
