Psalm 119 is…
It's a very long chapter…😅

I think the psalmist who wrote that long 119th psalm must have suffered greatly.

…Everyone desires to be happy❗️

True believers, when they face suffering, pray to God🛐.

Unbelievers, when faced with suffering, become angry, attack people and things, and don't move forward. What we must be careful of is that those who don't have the habit of daily prayer and reading the Bible are easily led astray by sin and become proud…😓
…I know someone who, despite attending seminary, thought, "The words of the Bible are already within me, so there's no need to read it anymore."

…Just as I feared…😨 they went astray…
…When faced with suffering, trials, or things not going our way, we should strive to be people who pray to God and seek solutions in the Bible❗️
…Suffering is a turning point in faith.

"That is how I learned your commandments."
...When you realize you have gone against what pleases God 😱
Those who repent to God are blessed.
..."Repentance"... makes a person humble❗️
Shalom 😃
