Read the Bible in 2 Years: Proverbs 11, Isaiah 57-59
For thus says the One who is high and lifted up, who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: “I dwell in the high and holy place, and also with him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly, and to revive the heart of the contrite.”
Isaiah 57:15 ESV

And the foreigners who join themselves to the LORD, to minister to him, to love the name of the LORD, and to be his servants, everyone who keeps the Sabbath and does not profane it, and holds fast my covenant— these I will bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer; their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on my altar; for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples.

For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground; I will pour my Spirit upon your offspring, and my blessing on your descendants. They shall spring up among the grass like willows by flowing streams.
This one will say, ‘I am the LORD’s,’ another will call on the name of Jacob, and another will write on his hand, ‘The LORD’s,’ and name himself by the name of Israel.”
Isaiah 44:3-5 ESV
“Turn to me and be saved, all the ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other.”
Isaiah 45:22 ESV
“Without the Spirit of God we can do nothing; we are as ships without wind, or chariots without steeds, like branches without sap, we are withered; like coals without fire, we are useless; as an offering without the sacrificial flame, we are unaccepted.”

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Proverbs 4 Isaiah 40-41
Have you not known? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.
Isaiah 40:28-31 ESV
Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God;
I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 149-150, Isaiah 30-32
The Israelites put their trust in Egypt to save them, rather than God. Where is our trust?
Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help and rely on horses, who trust in chariots because they are many and in horsemen because they are very strong, but do not look to the Holy One of Israel or consult the LORD! … The Egyptians are man, and not God, and their horses are flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD stretches out his hand, the helper will stumble, and he who is helped will fall, and they will all perish together.
Isaiah 31:1, 3 ESV
Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.
Psalm 20:7 ESV
Praise the LORD!
Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens!
Praise him for his mighty deeds; praise him according to his excellent greatness!
Praise him with trumpet sound; praise him with lute and harp! Praise him with tambourine and dance; praise him with strings and pipe! Praise him with sounding cymbals; praise him with loud clashing cymbals!
Let everything that has breath praise the LORD! Praise the LORD!
Psalm 150 ESV

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 148, Isaiah 28-29
Give ear, and hear my voice; give attention, and hear my speech. Does he who plows for sowing plow continually? Does he continually open and harrow his ground? When he has leveled its surface, does he not scatter dill, sow cumin, and put in wheat in rows and barley in its proper place, and emmer as the border? For he is rightly instructed; his God teaches him.
Dill is not threshed with a threshing sledge, nor is a cart wheel rolled over cumin, but dill is beaten out with a stick, and cumin with a rod. Does one crush grain for bread? No, he does not thresh it forever; when he drives his cart wheel over it with his horses, he does not crush it.
This also comes from the LORD of hosts; he is wonderful in counsel and excellent in wisdom.
Isaiah 28:23-29 ESV
A farmer doesn’t only plow; he knows when to stop plowing and when to level the ground, when to plant, and what to plant where. A farmer uses different tools at different times and works them all together to produce crops. In the same way, God knows what instruments to use in our lives, and when to use them. We don’t have to doubt or despair at what God is doing in our lives, because He is an expert farmer, working on us with all His wisdom.

My daughter just celebrated her 30th birthday last week. I remember when I turned 30 myself. I felt old. Now I have a daughter who’s 30, but somehow I feel young. I don’t get it. 🤷♀️
For whatever reason, 480 years jumped out at me in my reading.
In the four hundred and eightieth year after the people of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv, which is the second month, he began to build the house of the LORD.
1 Kings 6:1 ESV
480 years. Four hundred and eighty YEARS. 480 years had passed since the Lord had delivered His people out of Egypt until Solomon had begun building the temple.
Now we are in the year 2026. 480 years ago it would have been 1546. 1546. Whoa! That was a long, long time ago. That was before the invention of electricity and the steam engine. That was before Beethoven was born or America was founded.
Just think about some things that happened in the 1500’s.
Copernicus published his theory that the sun, rather than the Earth, was the center of the universe.
Sir Francis Drake circumnavigated the globe.
William Shakespeare wrote Romeo and Juliet and King Henry VIII was the king of England.
Martin Luther wrote the Ninety-Five Theses, demanding reform in the church.
480 years is a long, long time, but it’s only a quarter of the time that has passed since Jesus walked on earth and was crucified and buried and rose from the dead, and it’s just a drop in the bucket in light of eternity.
There are only two paths in life, and everyone is on one or the other. There’s the path of eternity with God, and there’s the path of eternity without Him. The path you’re on in this life will determine your path for eternity. Jesus is the doorway you must pass through to have eternity with God. As we’re told in John 14:6, Jesus is “the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through (Him).”
Which path are you on?
How are you spending the time God is giving you now? Wisely or foolishly?
Heavenly Father, You are eternal. You are outside of time. You are without beginning and end. But the number of our breaths, and our days on earth, are numbered. One day judgment will come for each and every one of us. In fact, today could be my last day here. I don’t know, but You do. Teach me, Father, to number my days that I might have a heart of wisdom. Help me to spend my years for the things that will matter for eternity. In the Name of Jesus Christ, my Savior and Redeemer, I pray. Amen.
