Mary Was a Reflective Woman

“My mom used to keep a record of things that happened in our family. But it was more than just a list; it became a book of prayers. As I look back on it, I realize how much work that would be and how much time that would take.”

Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth: It’s hard to take time to reflect when we’re so busy. It seems like any spare minutes we have get filled up with email, cell phones, or the media.

We can learn something important from Mary of Nazareth. The Bible tells us that after she gave birth to Jesus, “Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.” Twelve years later, when she and Joseph found Jesus talking with teachers in the temple, once more she “treasured all these things in her heart.”

In the middle of her responsibilities, Mary took time to contemplate what was happening in her life and to meditate on what God had done.

When was the last time you were quiet before God and pondered all that He was doing?
