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.

make known his deeds among the peoples!
Sing to him, sing praises to him;
tell of all his wondrous works!
Glory in his holy name;
let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice!”

When God Scatters Families – 1 Chronicles 5-6 – 2026 Day 39

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 7, 1 Chronicles 5-6

God scattered the families of Simeon and Levi because they’d impulsively massacred the men of Shechem. (See Genesis 34:24-30 and 49:5-7) Yet, God still worked in that scattering. My family, too, has been scattered. 💔 But I trust that God will use each of us in our own towns to be a blessing. How about you?

Heavenly Father, You are Almighty Lord, ruler over the whole world. I pray that You will use each of us in our cities and states and countries for Your glory. I pray that You would use our scattering to multiply Your glory to the four corners of the earth, that all creation might sing Your praise. In the Name of Jesus I pray. Amen.

Unique and United – Romans 15-16 – 2026 Day 35

Read through the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 4, Romans 15-16

At our church’s women’s retreat several years ago, I shared two messages from Romans 15:5-6, “May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

God has designed each of His children to be unique individuals as well as valuable parts of His united body.

Check them out here:

Part 1 – Unique

Part 2 – United

Heavenly Father, Thank You for creating me. Help me to remember that I am Your creation, that You have purpose for my life, that there are good works designed especially for me to do. And thank You for making me a member of Your body. Knit together the lives of Your children that we will glorify You, each singing our own more into one harmonious voice. Make us an orchestra of praise to You. Amen.
