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.

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

The Dangers of Pragmatism. Jeremiah 44-45. 2026

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 28, Jeremiah 44-45

Pragmatism is a philosophical tradition that evaluates the truth, value, and meaning of an idea based on its practical success and real-world consequences.

Read more about pragmatism here

“As for the word that you have spoken to us in the name of the LORD, we will not listen to you. But we will do everything that we have vowed, make offerings to the queen of heaven and pour out drink offerings to her, as we did, both we and our fathers, our kings and our officials, in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem. For then we had plenty of food, and prospered, and saw no disaster. But since we left off making offerings to the queen of heaven and pouring out drink offerings to her, we have lacked everything and have been consumed by the sword and by famine.”

Jeremiah 44:16-18 ESV

There is a way that
seems right to a man,
but its end is the way to death.

Pray and Obey. Jeremiah 40-43. 2026

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 26-27, Jeremiah 40-43

All the people went to Jeremiah and begged him to pray to God for them. They promised to obey whatever God said, whether it was good or bad.

Then, when Jeremiah didn’t tell them what they wanted to hear, they said, “You are telling a lie,” and they refused to obey. 😭

Friends, sometimes God is calling us to pray and preach. Let’s do it with a humble, obedient spirit.

God watches over Cities & Nations & Individuals. Memphis Storm Edition. Jeremiah 38-39. 2026

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 25, Jeremiah 38-39

* Sorry, no loud bugs in the background today … Instead you get to hear the humming of my generator. 🤯⚡🔌

The word of the LORD came to Jeremiah while he was shut up in the court of the guard: “Go, and say to Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, ‘Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will fulfill my words against this city for harm and not for good, and they shall be accomplished before you on that day. But I will deliver you on that day, declares the LORD, and you shall not be given into the hand of the men of whom you are afraid. For I will surely save you, and you shall not fall by the sword, but you shall have your life as a prize of war, because you have put your trust in me, declares the LORD.’”

What are you Teaching your Children? Jeremiah 34-35. 2026

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 23, Jeremiah 34-35

But they answered, “We will drink no wine, for Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, commanded us, ‘You shall not drink wine, neither you nor your sons forever. You shall not build a house; you shall not sow seed; you shall not plant or have a vineyard; but you shall live in tents all your days, that you may live many days in the land where you sojourn.’

We have obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, in all that he commanded us, to drink no wine all our days, ourselves, our wives, our sons, or our daughters, and not to build houses to dwell in. We have no vineyard or field or seed, but we have lived in tents and have obeyed and done all that Jonadab our father commanded us.”

Jeremiah 35:6-10 ESV

Hope for the Future. Jeremiah 30-31. 2026

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 21, Jeremiah 30-31

Thus says the LORD:
“A voice is heard in Ramah,
lamentation and bitter weeping.
Rachel is weeping for her children;
she refuses to be comforted for her children,
because they are no more.”

Thus says the LORD:
“Keep your voice from weeping,
and your eyes from tears,
for there is a reward for your work,
declares the LORD,
and they shall come back from the land of the enemy. There is hope for your future,
declares the LORD,
and your children shall come back to their own country.”

Jeremiah 29:11, Romans 8:28, and “Coffee Cup” Bible Verses. Jeremiah 29. 2026

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 20, Jeremiah 29

For thus says the LORD: When seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will visit you, and I will fulfill to you my promise and bring you back to this place. For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.

Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you, declares the LORD, and I will restore your fortunes and gather you from all the nations and all the places where I have driven you, declares the LORD, and I will bring you back to the place from which I sent you into exile.

Jeremiah 29:10-14 ESV

Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.
