Pondering Our Lord!
"But Mary kept
all these things
and pondered them in her heart."
Luke 2: 19
Psalm 107:43 says, “Let the one who is wise
heed these things and ponder the loving deeds of
the Lord”. Psalm 111:2 says, “Great are the works
of the Lord; they are pondered by all who delight
in them”.
The virgin Mary teaches us something about pondering.
When Gabriel appeared to Mary, he told her things she
could never have
imagined or expected. God surprised
her with plans for her life beyond anything she dreamed.
She trusted the message and did not hesitate to
obey the Lord’s commands. As more information
came to light, she pondered it all in her
heart.
God often surprises us with twists and turns we don’t
expect. All of them are for our benefit and usefulness,
but we have to ponder His
ways and submit to them
in faith and obedience.
Proverbs 4:26 says, “Ponder the path of your feet,
and let all your ways be established.” Take time now
to prayerfully ponder God’s wonderful pathway for
your life.
"To strengthen faith we must hear God’s Word
and ponder God’s doing, the marvelous
works of God in our own day."
