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.

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Proverbs 10, Acts 13

Doing wrong is like a joke to a fool, but wisdom is pleasure to a man of understanding. What the wicked dreads will come upon him, but the desire of the righteous will be granted.

Let it be known to you therefore, brothers, that through this man forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you, and by him everyone who believes is freed from everything from which you could not be freed by the law of Moses.

So, You Say You Want to be Wise? – Acts 12 – 2026 Day 9

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Proverbs 9, Acts 12

Reading Proverbs 9 hits me hard. 🎯

As a teenage atheist, I thought I knew it all. But I didn’t. I was a fool. I didn’t listen to anyone except me … And those who agreed with me.

If you say you want to be wise,

  • Listen to wisdom.
  • Listen to the Word.
  • Listen to wise counsel.
  • Listen when your friend rebukes you.
  • Listen when the Spirit convicts you.

Listen.

Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you; reprove a wise man, and he will love you.

Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser; teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.

Proverbs 9:8-9 ESV

Are You a Spirit-Led Follower of Jesus Christ? – Acts 8 – 2026 Day 6

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Proverbs 6, Acts 8

There are six things that the LORD hates, seven that are an abomination to him:
haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil,
a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers.

Proverbs 6:16-19 ESV

Now when Simon saw that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he offered them money, saying, “Give me this power also, so that anyone on whom I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit.”
But Peter said to him, “May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money! You have neither part nor lot in this matter, for your heart is not right before God. Repent, therefore, of this wickedness of yours, and pray to the Lord that, if possible, the intent of your heart may be forgiven you.”
