When the Trees & Vines & Fields are Bare, Yet I Will Rejoice in the Lord. Habakkuk 1-3. 2026

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 2-3, Habakkuk 1-3

What profit is an idol when its maker has shaped it, a metal image, a teacher of lies? For its maker trusts in his own creation when he makes speechless idols!

Woe to him who says to a wooden thing, Awake; to a silent stone, Arise!

Can this teach?
Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver,
and there is no breath at all in it. But the LORD is in his holy temple;
let all the earth keep silence before him.

Habakkuk 2:18-20 ESV

Though the fig tree should not blossom,
nor fruit be on the vines,
the produce of the olive fail
and the fields yield no food,
the flock be cut off from the fold
and there be no herd in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD;
I will take joy in the God of my salvation. GOD, the Lord, is my strength;
he makes my feet like the deer’s;
he makes me tread on my high places.

Habakkuk 3:17-19a ESV

Fear Not! The Lord is in your Midst. Zephaniah 1-3. 2026

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Proverbs 31, Psalm 1, Zephaniah 1-3

At that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps, and I will punish the men who are complacent, those who say in their hearts, ‘The LORD will not do good, nor will he do ill.’

Zephaniah 1:12 ESV

Seek the LORD, all you humble of the land, who do his just commands; seek righteousness; seek humility; perhaps you may be hidden on the day of the anger of the LORD.

Zephaniah 2:3 ESV

On that day it shall be said to Jerusalem: “Fear not, O Zion; let not your hands grow weak. The LORD your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing.”

Zephaniah 3:16-17 ESV

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.

Romans 5:7-10 ESV

Read through the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 119:161-176, Micah 7

My lips will pour forth praise, for you teach me your statutes. My tongue will sing of your word, for all your commandments are right.

Psalm 119:171-172 ESV

Who is a God like you, pardoning iniquity and passing over transgression for the remnant of his inheritance? He does not retain his anger forever, because he delights in steadfast love. He will again have compassion on us; he will tread our iniquities underfoot. You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea.

Read through the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 119:1-40, Micah 3

Thus says the LORD concerning the prophets who lead my people astray, who cry “Peace” when they have something to eat, but declare war against him who puts nothing into their mouths…. Its heads give judgment for a bribe; its priests teach for a price; its prophets practice divination for money; yet they lean on the LORD and say, “Is not the LORD in the midst of us? No disaster shall come upon us.”

Micah 3:5,11 ESV

I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.

Psalm 119:11 ESV

BEWARE! False Prophets Preach False Comforts. Micah 2. 2026.

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read through the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 118, Micah 2

“Do not preach” – thus they preach – “one should not preach of such things; disgrace will not overtake us.” … If a man should go about and utter wind and lies, saying, “I will preach to you of wine and strong drink,” he would be the preacher for this people!

Micah 2:6, 11 ESV

The days of Micah are remarkably like modern days. People don’t want to hear the truth. They want to hear preachers who tickle their ears, promising peace and prosperity. May we not listen to false prophets nor be false prophets. May we remember Micah who was faithful to obediently speak the truth in love, even though it fell on deaf ears for decades. 🙏

All this is for the transgression of Jacob and for the sins of the house of Israel.

Let us as Christians never think, “I’m not *that* bad. I’m not like *those* people.”

Heavenly Father, please keep us humble. Keep us on our knees. Forgive us.
