Worship doesn’t just happen. Our highest worship of God begins with bowing down, being brought low. Join us as we follow this psalmist’s life journey of affliction and confidence in God’s Shepherding love in the next four verses of Ps 119:89-95.

Yes, It’s True!
My rote memory is not what it should or could be (or will be), but my life memory is well-grooved by this psalm. It has changed me in the midst of most difficult times, and has brought joy to me in the best times. As I began to wrap up this study of the goodness of God, I re-read the paraphrased prayer of TET for the millionth time, and was struck anew by the truth of every line of it. It rings with lived out experience, the psalmists and my own. Yes, it is all true. It is all so gloriously true!
