Psalm 119 has been a wonderful study. Now in the 21st section, designated with the Hebrew Letter Schin. Each verse, in the Hebrew, begins with this letter.

Psalm 119:129-136 As we have looked at Psalm 119 verse by verse, we have seen the trials of this Psalmist’s life work in him. Trials have a tendency to either make you better or make you bitter.

What can we do when it seems the enemy is winning. Or at least continuing their attack without any restraint. What should we do when it seems God is not answering our prayers.
