Psalms119:5
Longing to obey.
1. It is a noble aspiration. There is nothing grander than the desire to do this except the doing of it.
2. It is a spiritual aspiration. Not the offspring of our carnal nature. It is the heart of God in the new creature.
3. It is a practicable aspiration. We sometimes sigh for the impossible. But this may be attained by divine grace.
4. It is an intense aspiration. It is the "Oh!" of a burning wish.
5. It is an influential aspiration. It does not evaporate in sighs. It is a mighty incentive implanted by grace which will not let us rest without holiness. W. J.
