Pondering His Blessings

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

Observation: Why don’t I treasure the things that the Lord has done for me? Jesus keeps blessing me and gets me through difficult times in my life and it seems as soon as it is over I forget them. Mary pondered her blessings then treasured them and I believe that gave her strength and increased her faith.

Application: I need, each day, to ponder the things the my Lord has done in my life, then treasure them by putting them in a safe place in my heart and mind. This way instead of worrying about a situation I can make a withdrawal out of my treasures and trust in my God that He is in control no matter what the situation.

Prayer: Dear Lord I thank you for all that you have done for me and since I didn’t treasure your blessings I’ve lost so many. Help me now treasure the gifts and love you bestow on me and keep them safe in my spirit.
