Great is Thy Faithfulness. Lamentations 3. 2026

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 35, Lamentations 3

Another “coffee mug” verse that is so much richer when you read it in context. The Lord’s mercies are indeed unending – even in the darkest valleys.

The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
โ€œThe LORD is my portion,โ€ says my soul,
โ€œtherefore I will hope in him.โ€

The LORD is good to those who wait for him,
to the soul who seeks him.
It is good that one should wait quietly
for the salvation of the LORD.
It is good for a man that he bear
the yoke in his youth.

Lamentations 3:22-27 ESV

BLESSED is the Man who TRUSTS in the LORD. Jeremiah 16-17. 2026

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 13, Jeremiah 16-17

Thus says the LORD:
โ€œCursed is the man who trusts in man
and makes flesh his strength, whose heart turns away from the LORD.

He is like a shrub in the desert, and shall not see any good come. He shall dwell in the parched places of the wilderness, in an uninhabited salt land.

Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose trust is the LORD.

He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit.โ€

Jeremiah 17:5-8

Stop Trusting in Horses and Chariots. Start Trusting in God. Isaiah 30-32. 2026

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

God is an Expert Farmer. Isaiah 28-29. 2026

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 doesnโ€™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 donโ€™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.

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 147, Isaiah 26-27

I’ve been wrestling with some stuff lately. How about you? I was so thankful for today’s verses, Isaiah 26:3-4 ESV, “You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD GOD is an everlasting rock.”

Pray with me.
