Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he explores this brief psalm encouraging God’s people to look up--while the rest of the wo

Join Dr. James Boice as he concludes his study of Psalm 119 and points us to the proper attitude of a serious

As our study of Psalm 119 draws near to a close, the frequent prayers of the psalmist diminish…but, not from a lack of faith.
