A Soul Alive
Aug 24, 2025 • Jeth Looney
In the Resh stanza [119:153-160], the blessed saint is still walking through affliction — the same affliction that surfaced earlier in verses 50, 67, 71, and 75. Yet even as enemies press in, his suffering does not silence the song of praise on his lips or the prayers that rise from his heart. Strangely enough, these very trials serve as his help, not his harm. So what do we see in Resh? We look through the window and behold it clearly — a soul, not dead, but alive.
