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.

Beware of False Prophets! šŸšØ Jeremiah 22-23. 2026

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 16, Jeremiah 22-23

Thus says the LORD of hosts: ā€œDo not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you, filling you with vain hopes. They speak visions of their own minds, not from the mouth of the LORD. They say continually to those who despise the word of the LORD, ā€˜It shall be well with youā€™; and to everyone who stubbornly follows his own heart, they say, ā€˜No disaster shall come upon you.ā€™ā€

Jeremiah 23:16-17 ESV

Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.

Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheepā€™s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.

Matthew 7:13-15 ESV

Don’t Be Surprised When you Obey God … And Get Hated šŸ„ŗ Jeremiah 20-21. 2026

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 15, Jeremiah 20-21

Now Pashhur the priest, the son of Immer, who was chief officer in the house of the LORD, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things. Then Pashhur beat Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the upper Benjamin Gate of the house of the LORD.

Loving Your Enemies… and Praying for their Harm? Jeremiah 18-19. 2026

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 14, Jeremiah 18-19

What do we do with “imprecatory prayers” like the one found in Jeremiah 18:23 ESV, “Forgive not their iniquity, nor blot out their sin from your sight. Let them be overthrown before you; deal with them in the time of your anger”?

How do we reconcile Jeremiah’s prayer with Paul’s writings in Romans 12:17-21 ESV?

Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.

Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, ā€œVengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.ā€

To the contrary, ā€œif your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.ā€ Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”

Romans 12:17-21 ESV

Listen in to a few of my thoughts.

For more on this, I recommend you listen to Austin Cox’s sermon from October 20, 2024 at Collierville Bible Church on Imprecatory Psalms. Listen to it on Spotify here or Apple Podcasts here.

BLESSED is the Man who TRUSTS in the LORD. Jeremiah 16-17. 2026

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 13, Jeremiah 16-17

Thus says the LORD:
ā€œCursed is the man who trusts in man
and makes flesh his strength, whose heart turns away from the LORD.

He is like a shrub in the desert, and shall not see any good come. He shall dwell in the parched places of the wilderness, in an uninhabited salt land.

Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose trust is the LORD.

He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit.ā€

Jeremiah 17:5-8

Having Compassion on Those who Won’t Listen. Jeremiah 13. 2026

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 11, Jeremiah 13

Hear and give ear; be not proud,
for the LORD has spoken.

Give glory to the LORD your God
before he brings darkness,
before your feet stumble…

But if you will not listen, my soul will weep in secret for your pride;
my eyes will weep bitterly
and run down with tears,
because the LORDā€™s flock has been taken captive.

Jeremiah 13:15-17 ESV

Put on then, as Godā€™s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.

Colossians 3:12-13 ESV

No Boasting Except in the Lord. Jeremiah 9-10. 2026

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

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

Thus says the LORD: ā€œLet not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches, but let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the LORD who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight, declares the LORD.ā€

Jeremiah 9:23-24 ESV

Where is the one who is wise?

Where is the scribe?

Where is the debater of this age?

Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?

For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe.

For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

Obey God and Leave the Results in His Hands. Jeremiah 7-8. 2026

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

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

Jeremiah 7:27 (ESV), ā€œSo you shall speak all these words to them, but they will not listen to you. You shall call to them, but they will not answer you,”Ā encouraged me to simply obey the Lord, to use whatever platform He gives me to speak the truth in love, and then leave the results in His hands. We live in a culture that makes choices based on whether something works, whether it produces the desired results … rather than whether it is right or wrong.

Which reminds me of a hotly contested topic that many people want to avoid:Ā  whether a woman should be allowed (or dare I say encouraged) to abort a child diagnosed prenatally with Down Syndrome.

Take a look and listen to something I posted earlier today for my thoughts on the matter:

they cannot listen;

Behold, the word of the LORD is to them an object of scorn; they take no pleasure in it.”
