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.

For Everything There is a Season – Ecclesiastes 2-3 – 2026 Day 66

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

God Redeems Individuals and Families – 1 Chronicles 1-2 – 2026 Day 36

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read through the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 5, 1 Chronicles 1-2

On the surface, 1 Chronicles 1-2 is just a bunch of genealogies. Look deeper and you’ll see God’s hand of redemption and restoration.

Unique and United – Romans 15-16 – 2026 Day 35

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read through the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 4, Romans 15-16

At our church’s women’s retreat several years ago, I shared two messages from Romans 15:5-6, “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.”

God has designed each of His children to be unique individuals as well as valuable parts of His united body.

Check them out here:

Part 1 – Unique

Part 2 – United

Heavenly Father, Thank You for creating me. Help me to remember that I am Your creation, that You have purpose for my life, that there are good works designed especially for me to do. And thank You for making me a member of Your body. Knit together the lives of Your children that we will glorify You, each singing our own more into one harmonious voice. Make us an orchestra of praise to You. Amen.

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.
