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.

The Prayer of Jabez – 1 Chronicles 3-4 – 2026 Day 37

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 6, 1 Chronicles 3-4

1 Chronicles 4:9-10 ESV — Jabez was more honorable than his brothers; and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, “Because I bore him in pain.” Jabez called upon the God of Israel, saying, “Oh that you would bless me and enlarge my border, and that your hand might be with me, and that you would keep me from harm so that it might not bring me pain!” And God granted what he asked.

A Prayer for Purity – Romans 14 – 2026 Day 34

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read through the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 3, Romans 14

Pray with me.

Heavenly Father, May my life be lived daily “in honor of the Lord.” Whether I eat or whether I abstain, let me be fully convinced in my own mind, walking by faith and not by flesh. I want to be prepared to give an account to You for how I have lived. I am thankful that You are my judge because You are impartial and righteous and merciful and wise, and I am selfish and foolish and petty. I am not my brother’s judge. You are. You are the all-knowing, all-righteous judge of the world. I pray that I will pursue what makes for peace and building up the body in unity and holiness. I pray that I would not do anything that would cause my brother or sister to stumble. May the body of Christ be pure and holy, without blemish, in word, thought, and deed, to the glory of Your Name, and may that begin with me. In the perfect name of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior I pray. Amen.

Call on the Lord and Be Saved – Romans 10 – 2026 Day 30

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read through the Bible in 2 Years: Proverbs 30, Romans 10

Dear friends, if you are reading this and have not yet bowed the knee to Jesus, let me appeal to you. Turn to Him today and be saved. Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, left the glories of heaven, took on human flesh, was born as a human baby, lived a perfect and sinless life, performed numerous miracles before thousands of eye witnesses, taught with authority explaining the way of salvation by faith in the One true God. He died on a Roman cross to pay the punishment for the sins of humans like you and me, making a way – the only way – for man to be forgiven by a just and holy God, and now He invites us to trust in Him and be saved from the wrath of God.

None are Righteous – No, Not One – Romans 3 – 2026 Day 24

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read through the Bible in 2 Years: Proverbs 24, Romans 3

“None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God.

All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one.

Their throat is an open grave; they use their tongues to deceive.

The venom of asps is under their lips.

Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness.

Their feet are swift to shed blood; in their paths are ruin and misery, and the way of peace they have not known.

There is no fear of God before their eyes.”

Romans 3:10-18 ESV

Do you read this and think, “Wow! Those people are really bad”? Or do you read this and want to fall on your face and beg for mercy?

If I’m honest with you, which I am, I would tell you that in some ways I’m thankful that God allowed me to wander in the wilderness for many years before saving me. These words of Romans 3 are all too familiar to my heart. I had turned away from God. My mouth was an open grave, spewing curses and bitterness and deception. My path was ruin and bitterness, and I knew no peace. Truly, there was no fear of God in my heart or before my eyes.

And then, when the time was right, the Lord opened my eyes and put a new song in my heart and new words on my lips. And now I can praise His Name with such heartfelt gratitude. I know what it means to be lost, and I know what it means to be found. With my every breath, I want to pour out His praise!

This didn’t happen to me because I started to “live right.” I could never have done that on my own. This happened to me because God opened my eyes to my own wickedness, and His immense holiness, and all I could do was cry, “Holy! Mercy! Save me!”

Have you experienced that? Have your eyes been open to your need for a Savior?

Heavenly Father, You are good, and we are not. You are righteous, and we are not. We need Your grace. We need Your mercy. We need Your holiness. Wash us in the cleansing blood of Your Son and make us pure. Put new desires into our hearts that we will want to please You, and give us strength to resist the devil and our flesh. We want to obey You. Help us, Father, moment by moment to walk by faith and not by flesh. In the Grace of our Lord Jesus, we pray. Amen.

The Victory Belongs to the LORD, not YOU – Acts 27-28 – 2026 Day 21

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Proverbs 21, Acts 27-28

The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but the victory belongs to the LORD.

Proverbs 21:31 ESV

For this very night there stood before me an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I worship, and he said, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; you must stand before Caesar. And behold, God has granted you all those who sail with you.’ So take heart, men, for I have faith in God that it will be exactly as I have been told.

Acts 27:23-25 ESV

Repent, Turn to God, Walk in Your New Life – Acts 25-26 – 2026 Day 20

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Proverbs 20, Acts 25-26

And [Paul] said, ‘Who are you, Lord?’

And the Lord said, ‘I am Jesus whom you are persecuting. But rise and stand upon your feet, for I have appeared to you for this purpose, to appoint you as a servant and witness to the things in which you have seen me and to those in which I will appear to you, delivering you from your people and from the Gentiles—to whom I am sending you to open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’

“Therefore, O King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision, but declared first to those in Damascus, then in Jerusalem and throughout all the region of Judea, and also to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, performing deeds in keeping with their repentance.”

Acts 26:15-20 ESV

Reasoning about Righteousness, Self- Control, and the Coming Judgment- Acts 24 – 2026 Day 19

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Proverbs 19, Acts 24

Proverbs 19:18 ESV — Discipline your son, for there is hope; do not set your heart on putting him to death.


Acts 24:24-25 ESV — After some days Felix came with his wife Drusilla, who was Jewish, and he sent for Paul and heard him speak about faith in Christ Jesus. And as he reasoned about righteousness and self-control and the coming judgment, Felix was alarmed and said, “Go away for the present. When I get an opportunity I will summon you.”

Are You Ready Even to Die for the Lord Jesus? – Acts 21-23 – 2026 Day 18

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Proverbs 18, Acts 21-23

Acts 21:13-14 ESV — Then Paul answered, “What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be imprisoned but even to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.” And since he would not be persuaded, we ceased and said, “Let the will of the Lord be done.”

** Oops 😬 ** The text on the video should say Proverbs 18 (not Proverbs 17).
