Read Through the Bible in Two Years – 2026 update!

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Today I’m starting the second year of the two-year Bible plan. If you’d like to begin with Day 1 of Year 1, you should begin with John 1.

—

For several years, I did a “Read Through the Bible in One Year” plan. I think it’s important to read the entire Bible, every word of it, and I’m glad that I’ve done that, but, I’ve found that the whole Bible in one year is a lot to absorb. It doesn’t give me much time to reflect and meditate on what I’ve read, so I decided I wanted to do a “Read Through the Bible in Two Years” plan. Simple enough, right? Wrong.

So, I made my own and I’d love to have you join me.

The plan is set up to read through each book of the Bible from beginning to end, alternating between Old Testament and New Testament books. I tried to keep the Old Testament books in chronological order. For example, Job is read after Genesis and before Exodus. I also intentionally placed New Testament books with related Old Testament books to help us see the connections in the text. For example, Hebrews is read between Leviticus and Numbers. I love to read one chapter of Luke every day from December 1-24, so each year ends with reading the book of Luke.

You’ll also notice that the Bible reading plan is set up week by week rather than day by day. One week you will devote every day to the four chapters of Philippians. In this weekly format, you could read the whole book on the first day of the week, then reread little parts the other six days … or you could read half of each chapter every day. You decide. Another week you’re assigned to read fourteen chapters of Leviticus – you might read several chapters one day and just one chapter another. Having a week by week format allows you this flexibility, but still keeps you on target.

Sexual Immorality in the Church. 1 Thessalonians 3-4. 2026

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: 1 Thessalonians 3-4

Finally, then, brothers, we ask and urge you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, just as you are doing, that you do so more and more. For you know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus.

For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality; that each one of you know how to control his own body in holiness and honor, not in the passion of lust like the Gentiles who do not know God; that no one transgress and wrong his brother in this matter, because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as we told you beforehand and solemnly warned you.

For God has not called us for impurity, but in holiness. Therefore whoever disregards this, disregards not man but God, who gives his Holy Spirit to you.

1 Thessalonians 4:1-8 ESV

Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

1 Corinthians 6:9-11 ESV

The Temple in Ezekiel, Colossians, and Revelation. Ezekiel 40-48. 2026

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Ezekiel 40-48

As the glory of the LORD entered the temple by the gate facing east, the Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the glory of the LORD filled the temple. While the man was standing beside me, I heard one speaking to me out of the temple, and he said to me, “Son of man, this is the place of my throne and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the people of Israel forever….”

Ezekiel 43:4-7a ESV

And the name of the city
from that time on shall be,
The LORD Is There.”

Ezekiel 48:35b ESV

For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily, and you have been filled in him, who is the head of all rule and authority.

Colossians 2:9-10 ESV

These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ.

Colossians 2:17 ESV

And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.

Revelation 21:2-3 ESV

And I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God
the Almighty and the Lamb.

Revelation 21:22 ESV

The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price.

Revelation 22:17 ESV

God Takes No Pleasure in the Death of the Wicked and Neither Should We! Ezekiel. 2026

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Ezekiel 25-39

Over and over again, God tells Ezekiel to lament and wail for alas, judgment is coming. Are we grieving over the death of the wicked – or are we rejoicing over it? Do we care about their souls and their families – or do we only care about how their wickedness is effecting us and our families?

Indeed, God takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked, and neither should we. God wants them to repent and be saved. Do we?

So Many Thoughts from Ezekiel 17-24. 2026

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Ezekiel 17-24

ALL ARE WELCOME AT THE FOOT OF THE CROSS

Thus says the Lord GOD:

“I myself will take a sprig from the lofty top of the cedar and will set it out. I will break off from the topmost of its young twigs a tender one, and I myself will plant it on a high and lofty mountain. On the mountain height of Israel will I plant it, that it may bear branches and produce fruit and become a noble cedar.

And under it will dwell every kind of bird; in the shade of its branches birds of every sort will nest. And all the trees of the field shall know that I am the LORD; I bring low the high tree, and make high the low tree, dry up the green tree, and make the dry tree flourish. I am the LORD; I have spoken, and I will do it.”

Ezekiel 17:22-24 ESV

ALL ARE WELCOME AT THE FOOT OF THE CROSS – FormerAtheist58

Three times in Ezekiel 20, it says that God acted for the sake of His name, that it should not be profaned.

Do we live with that in mind?

Are we living to bring glory to His name?

Pray for Your Church Elders. Ezekiel 14-16. 2026

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Ezekiel 14-16

Then certain of the elders of Israel came to me and sat before me. And the word of the LORD came to me: “Son of man, these men have taken their idols into their hearts, and set the stumbling block of their iniquity before their faces. Should I indeed let myself be consulted by them?

Ezekiel 14:1-3 ESV

Does God have your whole heart? How about your church elders?

Let’s pray for our own hearts, as well as theirs.

Beware of False Prophets who Dishearten the Righteous. Ezekiel 12-13. 2026

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Ezekiel 12-13

According to Ezekiel 13:22 ESV, false prophets not only encouraged the wicked such that they didn’t turn from evil to be saved, but they also “disheartened the righteous falsely.”

Jesus said, “In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33b ESV)

The Apostle Peter wrote, “Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice insofar as you share Christ’s sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed. If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you.” (1 Peter 4:12-14 ESV)

One of the biggest takeaways I had from watching the movie and reading the book “The Insanity of God” was that we in the USA can encourage our persecuted family around the globe by using the freedom we have to share the good news. Let’s do that!

Please join me in praying for our persecuted brothers and sisters on the other side of the globe, and let’s get busy making disciples of Jesus!

God Marks Those who are His. Ezekiel 8-11. 2026

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Ezekiel 8-11

And the LORD said to him, “Pass through the city, through Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and groan over all the abominations that are committed in it.”

And to the others he said in my hearing, “Pass through the city after him, and strike. Your eye shall not spare, and you shall show no pity. Kill old men outright, young men and maidens, little children and women, but touch no one on whom is the mark. And begin at my sanctuary.” So they began with the elders who were before the house.

Ezekiel 9:4-6 ESV

Does your heart break for the sin that fills our nation?

Do you grieve for the wicked who are perishing all around you?

Have you been marked by the Lord and sealed with His Spirit?

And You Shall Know That I am the LORD. Ezekiel 6-7. 2026

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Ezekiel 6-7

Seven times in 41 verses, the Lord says either “you” or “they” “shall know that I am the LORD.” These words are spoken not in the midst of blessing, but in the midst of judgment, in the sending of pestilence and famine and sword.

Pray for our nation. Pray for your neighbors. Pray for your family. Pray for yourself.

“Their silver and gold are not able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the Lord” (Ezekiel 7:19b) and neither can ours.

Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God. But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

Hebrews 3:12-13 ESV
