January 3rd Passage found in the Poetry Section - Job Chapters 1 & 2
What was the first thing Job did after having lost everything (and I mean everything) He worships God Job 1:20-22 - How amazing is that!! We also see that although his 3 friends are not very helpful in their counsel throughout chapters 4 -36 - initially we see them demonstrate a true example of how best to comfort someone who is grieving in this verse Job 2: 11 "Then they sat on the ground with him for seven days and seven nights. No one said a word to him because they saw hos great his suffering was." We could learn much from this action.
January 4th Passage found in the Prophecy Section - Isaiah Chapters 1 - 6
This is not a section for the faint of heart. If you understand the word "WOE" you will see it used here often and that it is used by God to warn those who are disobedient to HIS teaching that judgment is coming - In fact there are 13 reasons given for God's displeasure - see the following Isaiah 1:28; 2:6- 8, 11; 3:4,5, 9, 12, 16; 4:1; 5:8, 11, 12, 20, 21, 22
Now be honest - is our society primed for Judgment?
