Having Compassion on Those who Won’t Listen. Jeremiah 13. 2026

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 11, Jeremiah 13

Hear and give ear; be not proud,
for the LORD has spoken.

Give glory to the LORD your God
before he brings darkness,
before your feet stumble…

But if you will not listen, my soul will weep in secret for your pride;
my eyes will weep bitterly
and run down with tears,
because the LORD’s flock has been taken captive.

Jeremiah 13:15-17 ESV

Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.

Colossians 3:12-13 ESV

Is the Lord NEAR in your 👄 but FAR from your ❤️? Jeremiah 11-12. 2026

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 10, Jeremiah 11-12

Righteous are you, O LORD,
when I complain to you …
Why does the way of the wicked prosper? …
you are near in their mouth
and far from their heart.

Jeremiah 12:1-2 ESV

No Boasting Except in the Lord. Jeremiah 9-10. 2026

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 9, Jeremiah 9-10

Thus says the LORD: “Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches, but let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the LORD who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight, declares the LORD.”

Jeremiah 9:23-24 ESV

Where is the one who is wise?

Where is the scribe?

Where is the debater of this age?

Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?

For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe.

For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

1 Corinthians 1:20-24 ESV

Obey God and Leave the Results in His Hands. Jeremiah 7-8. 2026

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

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

Jeremiah 7:27 (ESV), “So you shall speak all these words to them, but they will not listen to you. You shall call to them, but they will not answer you,” encouraged me to simply obey the Lord, to use whatever platform He gives me to speak the truth in love, and then leave the results in His hands. We live in a culture that makes choices based on whether something works, whether it produces the desired results … rather than whether it is right or wrong.

Which reminds me of a hotly contested topic that many people want to avoid:  whether a woman should be allowed (or dare I say encouraged) to abort a child diagnosed prenatally with Down Syndrome.

Take a look and listen to something I posted earlier today for my thoughts on the matter:

Do you Love God’s Word? Or NOT? Jeremiah 5-6. 2026

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

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

To whom shall I speak and give warning, that they may hear?

Behold, their ears are uncircumcised,
they cannot listen;

Behold, the word of the LORD is to them an object of scorn; they take no pleasure in it.”

Repent and Return. Jeremiah 3-4. 2026

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 6, Jeremiah 3-4

Go, and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, “Return, faithless Israel, declares the LORD. I will not look on you in anger, for I am merciful, declares the LORD; I will not be angry forever. Only acknowledge your guilt, that you rebelled against the LORD your God and scattered your favors among foreigners under every green tree, and that you have not obeyed my voice, declares the LORD. Return, O faithless children, declares the LORD; for I am your master; I will take you, one from a city and two from a family, and I will bring you to Zion.”

Jeremiah 3:12-14 ESV

This reminded me of the parable of the prodigal son that Jesus told in Luke 15:17-20 ESV

“But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have more than enough bread, but I perish here with hunger!

I will arise and go to my father, and I will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Treat me as one of your hired servants.”’

And he arose and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him.”

The Lord will by No Means Clear the Guilty. Nahum 1-3. 2026

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Proverbs 29-30, Nahum 1-3

The LORD is a jealous and avenging God; the LORD is avenging and wrathful; the LORD takes vengeance on his adversaries and keeps wrath for his enemies. The LORD is slow to anger and great in power, and the LORD will by no means clear the guilty.

Nahum 1:2-3a ESV

For the wages of sin is death,
but the free gift of God is eternal life
in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 6:23 ESV

For one will scarcely die for a righteous person —though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die — but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.

Christ Jesus Came into the World to Save Sinners Like Me. 1 Timothy 1. 2026

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Proverbs 15, 1 Timothy 1

I thank him who has given me strength, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he judged me faithful, appointing me to his service, though formerly I was a blasphemer, persecutor, and insolent opponent. But I received mercy because I had acted ignorantly in unbelief, and the grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.

The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost. But I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience as an example to those who were to believe in him for eternal life.

To the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.”

1 Timothy 1:12-17


Maybe you’ve never been an atheist like me.

Neither was Paul.

Maybe you’ve never said ugly, blasphemous, hateful things against the name of God like I did.

Paul didn’t either.

But Paul saw his own sin for what it was – offense against a perfect, righteous, holy, Almighty God.

And he saw himself for who he was – a great sinner saved by an even greater God.

Praise God for His boundless mercy and grace toward sinners like me and you.

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.”
