“I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments” (Psalm 119:131).

But I want to.

In the meantime, I continue reading His Word.

I will not allow the fact that I don’t pant and long for it keep me from it.

I will read. I will obey. I will value it as true and upright and righteous and faithful and pure. (It says so in the 129-144 sections of Psalm 119.)

And I will try to remember to ask God to also make it my delight.

“Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet thy commandments are my delights” (Psalm 119:143).
