There is NONE like the Lord – 2 Chronicles 13-14 – 2026 Day 72

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 40, 2 Chronicles 13-14

“Behold, God is with us at our head, and his priests with their battle trumpets to sound the call to battle against you. O sons of Israel, do not fight against the LORD, the God of your fathers, for you cannot succeed.”

Jeroboam had sent an ambush around to come upon them from behind. Thus his troops were in front of Judah, and the ambush was behind them.

And when Judah looked, behold, the battle was in front of and behind them. And they cried to the LORD, and the priests blew the trumpets. Then the men of Judah raised the battle shout. And when the men of Judah shouted, God defeated Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.

The men of Israel fled before Judah, and God gave them into their hand. Abijah and his people struck them with great force, so there fell slain of Israel 500,000 chosen men.

Thus the men of Israel were subdued at that time, and the men of Judah prevailed, because they relied on the LORD, the God of their fathers.

2 Chronicles 13:12-18 ESV

Who are You Listening to? Your Buddies or Your Elders – 2 Chronicles 10-12 – 2026 Day 71

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 39, 2 Chronicles 10-12

Then King Rehoboam took counsel with the old men, who had stood before Solomon his father while he was yet alive, saying, “How do you advise me to answer this people?” And they said to him, “If you will be good to this people and please them and speak good words to them, then they will be your servants forever.” But he abandoned the counsel that the old men gave him, and took counsel with the young men who had grown up with him and stood before him.

When You DON’T KNOW what God is doing … TRUST HIM! – Ecclesiastes 11-12 – 2026 Day 70

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 39, Ecclesiastes 11-12

“He who observes the wind will not sow, and he who regards the clouds will not reap. As you do not know the way the spirit comes to the bones in the womb of a woman with child, so you do not know the work of God who makes everything.”

Ecclesiastes 11:4-5 ESV

“My son, beware of anything beyond these. Of making many books there is no end, and much study is a weariness of the flesh. The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every deed into judgment, with every secret thing, whether good or evil.”

Ecclesiastes 12:12-14 ESV

Does Life Feel Meaningless? – Ecclesiastes 9-10 – 2026 Day 69

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 37, Ecclesiastes 9-10

Life feels meaningless without having an eternal purpose. I’ve been there. it’s miserable. But there’s a way out!

Ecclesiastes 9:2 ESV — It is the same for all, since the same event happens to the righteous and the wicked, to the good and the evil, to the clean and the unclean, to him who sacrifices and him who does not sacrifice. As the good one is, so is the sinner, and he who swears is as he who shuns an oath.

… [God] has put eternity into man’s heart …

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.

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.

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

I am His, And He is Mine – Song of Solomon 6-8 – 2026 Day 62-64

I’m using David Guzik’s commentary to better understand the book of “Song of Solomon.” Read chapter 6 here or download the “Enduring Word Commentary” free from the Apple Store or the Google Store or read Mr. Guzik’s commentary in the Blue Letter Bible app, also available from the Apple Store or Google Store.

I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine;

Song of Songs 6:3a ESV

I Am His, and He Is Mine
Author: Wade Robinson (1877)

Loved with everlasting love,
led by grace that love to know;
gracious Spirit from above,
Thou dost taught me it is so!
O this full and precious peace!
O this transport all divine!
In a love which cannot cease,
I am His and He is mine.
In a love which cannot cease,
I am His wife and He is mine.


Heav’n above is deeper blue;
earth around is sweeter green;
something lives in ev’ry hue
Christless eyes have never seen.
Birds with gladder songs o’erflow;
flow’rs with deeper beauties shine;
Since I know, as now I know,
I am His and He is mine.
Since I know, as now I know,
I am His and He is mine.


Taste the goodness of the Lord:
welcomed home to His embrace,
all His love, as blood outpoured,
seals the pardon of His grace.
Can I doubt His love for me,
when I trace that love’s design?
By the cross of Calvary
I am His and He is mine.
I am His and He is mine.


His forever, only his!
Who the Lord and me shall part?
Ah, with what a rest of bliss
Christ can fill the loving heart!
Heav’n and earth may fade and flee,
firstborn light in gloom decline;
But while God and I shall be,
I am His and He is mine.
I am His and He is mine.

I am His and He is Mine – Michael Lining

Song of Songs 5:16b ESV

Heavenly Father, Thank You for creating marriage, a covenant between a man and woman before Your eyes til death parts them. May our marriages be rooted in the love of God but also enjoy the fruit of an abiding admiration and friendship with one another. Give us times of refreshment and renewal and laughter together that will help us overlook those times when we’re walking through the valley. For Your glory and our good we pray. Amen.
