Pondering

When was the last time you ponderered something? The dictionary defines the word this way:


verb (used without object)
1.
to consider something deeply and thoroughly; meditate (often followed by over or upon ). -or-



–verb (used with object)
2.
to weigh carefully in
the mind; consider thoughtfully: He pondered his next words thoroughly.


In the culture we live in speed is highly valued- multi-tasking is considered a mandatory life skill. When asking someone what they've been up to what would your response be if they said "I've been thinking a lot about..." or "I'm pondering life and my place in it!"


We don't give enough weight to carefully considering our lives, our commitments, activities, and the impact we can have when we sit at the feet of our Master and listen to him. Think about His words and what they mean to you today.


There is a time and a place to "Be still and know that I am God". Psalm 46:10. Take time to ponder. Consider your place in this world and God's call to use your life for His Kingdom purposes.

Yes, it's something worth thinking about! Steve
