There is a Fountain Filled with Blood. Zechariah 13-14. 2026

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Zechariah 13-14

Zechariah 13:1, “On that day there shall be a fountain opened for the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to cleanse them from sin and uncleanness” was the inspiration for the great hymn “There is a Fountain” by William Cowper.

Our church likes to sing all five verses. I can see why.

1. There is a fountain filled with blood
Drawn from Immanuel’s veins;
And sinners, plunged beneath that flood,
Lose all their guilty stains:

2. The dying thief rejoiced to see
That fountain in his day;
And there may I, though vile as he,
Wash all my sins away:

3. Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood
Shall never lose its pow’r,
Till all the ransomed Church of God
Be saved, to sin no more:

4. E’er since by faith I saw the stream
Thy flowing wounds supply,
Redeeming love has been my theme,
And shall be till I die:

5. When this poor lisping, stamm’ring tongue
Lies silent in the grave,
Then in a nobler, sweeter song
I’ll sing Thy pow’r to save:

And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and pleas for mercy, so that, when they look on me, on him whom they have pierced, they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for an only child, and weep bitterly over him, as one weeps over a firstborn.

Christ’s Humility and Righteous Vengeance. Zechariah 9-10. 2026

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Zechariah 9-10

Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion!
Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem!
Behold, your king is coming to you;
righteous and having salvation is he,
humble and mounted on a donkey,
on a colt, the foal of a donkey.

Zechariah 9:9 ESV

My anger is hot against the shepherds,
and I will punish the leaders;
for the LORD of hosts cares for his flock,
the house of Judah,
and will make them like his majestic steed in battle.

Zechariah 10:3 ESV

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Zechariah 4-6

This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel:

Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the LORD of hosts.

Zechariah 4:6b ESV

As much as I harp on being strong and working hard – all that hard work is for nothing if it’s not from the Lord. Praying that I will abide in the vine, the High Priest-King, and that He will bear great, abundant, eternal fruit in me.

Fight Satan by the Power of God. Zechariah 1-3. 2026

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Zechariah 1-3

Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him.

And the LORD said to Satan, “The LORD rebuke you, O Satan! The LORD who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is not this a brand plucked from the fire?” Now Joshua was standing before the angel, clothed with filthy garments.

And the angel said to those who were standing before him, “Remove the filthy garments from him.”

And to him he said, “Behold, I have taken your iniquity away from you, and I will clothe you with pure vestments.”

Zechariah 3:1-4 ESV

See Ephesians 6:10-18 and James 4:7-8

“return to me with all your heart,

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.”
