Fully Relying on God – 2 Chronicles 15-16 – 2026 Day 73

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 41, 2 Chronicles 15-16

Even Maacah, his mother, King Asa removed from being queen mother because she had made a detestable image for Asherah. Asa cut down her image, crushed it, and burned it at the brook Kidron. But the high places were not taken out of Israel. Nevertheless, the heart of Asa was wholly true all his days.

2 Chronicles 15:16-17 ESV

At that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah and said to him, “Because you relied on the king of Syria, and did not rely on the LORD your God, the army of the king of Syria has escaped you. Were not the Ethiopians and the Libyans a huge army with very many chariots and horsemen? Yet because you relied on the LORD, he gave them into your hand.”

2 Chronicles 16:7-8

There is NONE like the Lord – 2 Chronicles 13-14 – 2026 Day 72

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 40, 2 Chronicles 13-14

“Behold, God is with us at our head, and his priests with their battle trumpets to sound the call to battle against you. O sons of Israel, do not fight against the LORD, the God of your fathers, for you cannot succeed.”

Jeroboam had sent an ambush around to come upon them from behind. Thus his troops were in front of Judah, and the ambush was behind them.

And when Judah looked, behold, the battle was in front of and behind them. And they cried to the LORD, and the priests blew the trumpets. Then the men of Judah raised the battle shout. And when the men of Judah shouted, God defeated Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.

The men of Israel fled before Judah, and God gave them into their hand. Abijah and his people struck them with great force, so there fell slain of Israel 500,000 chosen men.

Thus the men of Israel were subdued at that time, and the men of Judah prevailed, because they relied on the LORD, the God of their fathers.

Who are You Listening to? Your Buddies or Your Elders – 2 Chronicles 10-12 – 2026 Day 71

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 39, 2 Chronicles 10-12

Then King Rehoboam took counsel with the old men, who had stood before Solomon his father while he was yet alive, saying, “How do you advise me to answer this people?” And they said to him, “If you will be good to this people and please them and speak good words to them, then they will be your servants forever.” But he abandoned the counsel that the old men gave him, and took counsel with the young men who had grown up with him and stood before him.

Answering People’s Hard Questions – 2 Chronicles 9 – 2026 Day 57

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 25, 2 Chronicles 9

2 Chronicles 9:1-2 ESV — Now when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to Jerusalem to test him with hard questions, having a very great retinue and camels bearing spices and very much gold and precious stones. And when she came to Solomon, she told him all that was on her mind. And Solomon answered all her questions. There was nothing hidden from Solomon that he could not explain to her.

Luke 21:12-15 ESV — But before all this they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before kings and governors for my name’s sake. This will be your opportunity to bear witness. Settle it therefore in your minds not to meditate beforehand how to answer, for I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which none of your adversaries will be able to withstand or contradict.

1 Peter 3:15 ESV — but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect,

2 Timothy 2:15 ESV — Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.

God is ALWAYS GOOD whether in His Blessing or in His Chastening – 2 Chronicles 7-8 – 2026 Day 56

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 24, 2 Chronicles 7-8

God is good and faithful. His love is steadfast. He always keeps His promises. He is trustworthy. AlI the time.

2 Chronicles 7:14 ESV — If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

2 Chronicles 7:19-22 ESV — “But if you turn aside and forsake my statutes and my commandments that I have set before you, and go and serve other gods and worship them, then I will pluck you up from my land that I have given you, and this house that I have consecrated for my name, I will cast out of my sight, and I will make it a proverb and a byword among all peoples.

And at this house, which was exalted, everyone passing by will be astonished and say, ‘Why has the LORD done thus to this land and to this house?’ Then they will say, ‘Because they abandoned the LORD, the God of their fathers who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods and worshiped them and served them. Therefore he has brought all this disaster on them.’”

Singing and Living in Unison – 2 Chronicles 5 – 2026 Day 54

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 22, 2 Chronicles 5

2 Chronicles 5:11-14 ESV — And when the priests came out of the Holy Place (for all the priests who were present had consecrated themselves, without regard to their divisions, and all the Levitical singers, Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun, their sons and kinsmen, arrayed in fine linen, with cymbals, harps, and lyres, stood east of the altar with 120 priests who were trumpeters; and it was the duty of the trumpeters and singers to make themselves heard in unison in praise and thanksgiving to the LORD), and when the song was raised, with trumpets and cymbals and other musical instruments, in praise to the LORD, “For he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever,” the house, the house of the LORD, was filled with a cloud, so that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud, for the glory of the LORD filled the house of God.

Romans 15:1-6 ESV — We who are strong have an obligation to bear with the failings of the weak, and not to please ourselves. Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, to build him up. For Christ did not please himself, but as it is written, “The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me.” For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. 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.

The Sacrificial Altar – 2 Chronicles 3-4 – 2026 Day 53

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 21, 2 Chronicles 3-4

2 Chronicles 4:1 CSB — He made a bronze altar 30 feet long, 30 feet wide, and 15 feet high.

Hebrews 13:8-13 ESV — Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Do not be led away by diverse and strange teachings, for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not by foods, which have not benefited those devoted to them. We have an altar from which those who serve the tent have no right to eat. For the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the holy places by the high priest as a sacrifice for sin are burned outside the camp. So Jesus also suffered outside the gate in order to sanctify the people through his own blood. Therefore let us go to him outside the camp and bear the reproach he endured.

Romans 12:1 ESV — I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.

Building a GREAT Temple for a GREAT God – 2 Chronicles 2 – 2026 Day 52

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 20, 2 Chronicles 2

Behold, I am about to build a house for the name of the LORD my God and dedicate it to him for the burning of incense of sweet spices before him, and for the regular arrangement of the showbread, and for burnt offerings morning and evening … The house that I am to build will be great, for our God is greater than all gods. But who is able to build him a house, since heaven, even highest heaven, cannot contain him? Who am I to build a house for him, except as a place to make offerings before him?

Please, Lord, Give me Knowledge and Wisdom – 2 Chronicles 1 – 2026 Day 51

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 19, 2 Chronicles 1

If God asked you what you’d like Him to give you, what would you say? A big house? A good job? A long, healthy life? A skinny body and a beautiful face?

Here in 2 Chronicles 1, Solomon is beginning his reign as king of Israel. He senses the great weight of leading God’s people, and he recognizes his immense need for knowledge and wisdom.

Do we? Really, do we? Do we think a good college education is enough to equip our kids for life in this world? Do we think we can get all the answers we need from Google, YouTube, and Wikipedia, or from bloggers and influencers?

Food for thought today.

“Give me now wisdom and knowledge to go out and come in before this people, for who can govern this people of yours, which is so great?”

2 Chronicles 1:10 ESV

The law of the LORD is perfect,
reviving the soul;
the testimony of the LORD is sure,
making wise the simple;

the precepts of the LORD are right,
rejoicing the heart;
the commandment of the LORD is pure,
enlightening the eyes;

the fear of the LORD is clean,
enduring forever;
the rules of the LORD are true,
and righteous altogether.

More to be desired are they than gold,
even much fine gold;
sweeter also than honey
and drippings of the honeycomb. Moreover, by them is your servant warned;
in keeping them there is great reward.

Psalm 19:7-11 ESV

Heavenly Father, Thank You for giving us Your Word. It is precious. It is the greatest treasure we could ever receive. Help us to know and understand it, every word, and to apply it correctly to our daily lives. Bless our families with knowledge and wisdom. We ask for this rather than fame or health or riches or long life because we know that wisdom and knowledge are more valuable than all these. Be glorified in us. Amen.
