Does This Describe Me…? Sir Thomas Fuller said, "I discover an arrant laziness in my soul. For when I am to read a chapter in the Bible, before I begin I look where it ends. And if it ends not on the same side, I cannot keep my hands from turning over the leaf, to measure the length on the other side; if it swells too many verses, I begin to grudge. Surely my heart is not rightly affected. Were I truly hungry after heavenly food, I would not complain of meat. Scourge, Lord, this laziness of my soul; make the reading of your Word, not a penance, but a pleasure to me; so I may esteem that chapter in your Word the best which is the longest." May we all strive for the attitude of the Psalmist, "My hands also I will lift up to Your commandments, Which I love, And I will meditate on Your statutes." "The law of Your mouth is better to me Than thousands of coins of gold and silver." "Oh, how I love Your law! It is my meditation all the day." "Your testimonies I have taken as a heritage forever, For they are the rejoicing of my heart." "I rejoice at Your word As one who finds great treasure." (Psa. 119:48, 72, 97, 111, 162).
