    Jesus knew about strong drink. His whole life was but a preparation to drink, not a jigger, but a full cup down to the last dregs.

    Psalm 118 is a powerful song of Praise. But behind this psalm of praise is a great deal of pain. What was the pain that led David to write this hymn to God, and what can we learn from David’s pain that make our song as powerful as his?
