Oh that my words were written!
Oh that they were inscribed in a book!

yet in my flesh I shall see God,
whom I shall see for myself,
and my eyes shall behold, and not another.
My heart faints within me! (Job 19:23-27)
Imagine this: In the span of one week your GPA tanks, Coach benches you without warning, your girlfriend dumps you, your little brother wrecks your car, and your parents ground you. To top it off, your best friend (the one person who is still talking to you) assures you that all these troubles are your own fault.
That would qualify as a bad week.
All of us have had times where it feels like everything is falling apart, but few have had the troubles of a godly man named Job… To read the rest of this devotional and all 25 entries, purchase our advent devotional, Longing for Christmas.
