Oh God, I hunger & thirst for your righteousness, and you have said in your word that those who do so will be filled. I desire for your word to be living and active within me but am frustrated, then, by my inaction. I am so often only a hearer and not a doer of your word. Rather than be fed by the rich abundance of spiritual nourishment you have laid out for me, I limp along in life sustained only by my own table scraps.
Ah, Paul, you so mightily hit the proverbial nail on the head by saying, "I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out." (Romans 7:18b).
