Mary Pondered These Things in Her Heart

But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. — Luke 2:19 

Mary treasured God's Word to her.

She pondered everything He had told her in her heart.

God wants us to treasure up His Word and keep it in our hearts.

He wants us to memorize and learn His Word and hold it fast in our thoughts and minds.

And learn from it and act on it.

To put it into action in our lives.

Mary Treasured All These Things

Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. — Luke 2:19

As we wrap up the Christmas season, we remember Jesus' mother, Mary.

She treasured up all that the shepherds and angels had shown her.

Then she pondered all these things in her heart.

When I read God's Word, I often forget to ponder it.

But God has some interesting and provocative wisdom for me in His Word.

Open my eyes to Your Word, Lord.

Open my ears to Your will.
