Chronological Reading of the Bible - Day 6 - January 06, 2026

This is part of a year long reading of the Bible chronologically in a harmonized format.Job 1:1 - 3:26- Job, a blameless and upright man who fears God, prospers greatly until Satan challenges his faith, leading God to permit testing.- Satan afflicts Job by destroying his livestock, servants, and children, then striking him with painful boils, yet Job maintains his integrity and blesses God; overwhelmed by suffering, he curses the day of his birth and laments his existence.Luke 1:57-80- Elizabeth gives birth to a son; neighbors rejoice, and on the eighth day, despite family expectations, the child is named John as divinely instructed, restoring Zechariah's speech.- Filled with the Holy Spirit, Zechariah prophesies praise to God for raising a horn of salvation, fulfilling promises to Abraham and the prophets; he declares John will prepare the way for the Lord, bringing knowledge of salvation, forgiveness, and light to those in darkness.
