Being Patient in Trials – Ecclesiastes 7-8 – 2026 Day 68

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 36, Ecclesiastes 7-8

Ecclesiastes 7:8-9 ESV — Better is the end of a thing than its beginning, and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit. Be not quick in your spirit to become angry, for anger lodges in the heart of fools.

Being Patient in the Trials – FormerAtheist58

Psalm 126:5-6 ESV — Those who sow in tears shall reap with shouts of joy! He who goes out weeping, bearing the seed for sowing, shall come home with shouts of joy, bringing his sheaves with him.

1 Peter 1:3-9, 13 ESV — Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who by God’s power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls…. Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

A Stillborn Baby is Better Off? Personal Reflections from Ecclesiastes 4-6 – 2026 Day 67

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 35, Ecclesiastes 4-6

Getting personal here.

A man may father a hundred children and live many years. No matter how long he lives, if he is not satisfied by good things and does not even have a proper burial, I say that a stillborn child is better off than he.

Ecclesiastes 6:3 CSB

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 34, Ecclesiastes 2-3

For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:

a time to be born, and a time to die;

a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;

a time to kill, and a time to heal;

a time to break down, and a time to build up;

a time to weep, and a time to laugh;

a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

Vanity of Vanities – Nothing is NEW under the Sun – Ecclesiastes 1 – 2026 Day 65

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 33, Ecclesiastes 1

Is there a thing of which it is said, “See, this is new”? It has been already in the ages before us.

Ecclesiastes 1:10 ESV

None of us – not Elon Musk, not Bill Gates, not President Trump or Charlie Kirk or Billy Graham – can make anything truly NEW. But I know someone who can. Do you know Him?

And he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” Also he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”

Revelation 21:5 ESV

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.

2 Corinthians 5:17 ESV

What’s that LAST thing You Want to Say to your Children Before You Die? – 1 Chronicles 28-29 – 2026 Day 50

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 18, 1 Chronicles 28-29

As David was nearing the end of his life, he wanted to equip his son and equip his people to continue worshipping God with their whole hearts and lives. What at your end-of-life goals?

“And you, Solomon my son, know the God of your father and serve him with a whole heart and with a willing mind, for the LORD searches all hearts and understands every plan and thought. If you seek him, he will be found by you, but if you forsake him, he will cast you off forever. Be careful now, for the LORD has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary; be strong and do it.”

1 Chronicles 28:9-10 ESV

“Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, O LORD, and you are exalted as head above all. Both riches and honor come from you, and you rule over all. In your hand are power and might, and in your hand it is to make great and to give strength to all. And now we thank you, our God, and praise your glorious name.”

1 Chronicles 29:11-13 ESV

God is a God of Order but I’m a Woman of Chaos – 2026 Day 49

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 17, 1 Chronicles 25-27

God is a God of order. He always has been and He always will be!

But, I’m a woman of chaos. Always have been… but by God’s grace He can change me to be more like HIM! Please, Father!

Father, help me. 🙏🏻 Please. 🙏🏻 Help me to be a good steward of my time, talents, treasure, and testimony. 🙏🏻 Help me to do things decently and in order. 🙏🏻Guide my thoughts, my steps, and my words and conform me into Your image. 🙏🏻By Your Grace and For Your Glory! Amen.🙏🏻

1 Chronicles 27:25-31 ESV — “Over the king’s treasuries was Azmaveth the son of Adiel; and over the treasuries in the country, in the cities, in the villages, and in the towers, was Jonathan the son of Uzziah; and over those who did the work of the field for tilling the soil was Ezri the son of Chelub; and over the vineyards was Shimei the Ramathite; and over the produce of the vineyards for the wine cellars was Zabdi the Shiphmite. Over the olive and sycamore trees in the Shephelah was Baal-hanan the Gederite; and over the stores of oil was Joash. Over the herds that pastured in Sharon was Shitrai the Sharonite; over the herds in the valleys was Shaphat the son of Adlai. Over the camels was Obil the Ishmaelite; and over the donkeys was Jehdeiah the Meronothite. Over the flocks was Jaziz the Hagrite. All these were stewards of King David’s property.”

Surrendering ALL – 1 Chronicles 21 – 2026 Day 47

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 15, 1 Chronicles 21

And David said to Ornan, “Give me the site of the threshing floor that I may build on it an altar to the LORD—give it to me at its full price—that the plague may be averted from the people.”

Then Ornan said to David, “Take it, and let my lord the king do what seems good to him. See, I give the oxen for burnt offerings and the threshing sledges for the wood and the wheat for a grain offering; I give it all.”

But King David said to Ornan, “No, but I will buy them for the full price. I will not take for the LORD what is yours, nor offer burnt offerings that cost me nothing.” So David paid Ornan 600 shekels of gold by weight for the site.

1 Chronicles 21:22-25 ESV
