#2 Ponderize and Memorize Prayers, thinking, scriptures–Use the brain the good Lord gave you. (Mama’s words!)
Ponder: to study and reflect upon something. To deliberate and digest information. To take it into your mind, knead it until it comes together like dough and makes a beautiful, smooth understanding. Then turbo-boost and bake it with prayer until it comes out brown and delicious with personal revelation.
My morning study time (time that I “found” when I started getting up early) has become the epicenter of my day. This, combined with daily scripture reading has opened up my mind, ameliorated my comprehension and planted pure joy in my soul.
Pondering is beyond reading or a passing curiosity. I think of Mary pondering over the things that were happening to her. (Luke 2:19)
I promise that if you make the sacrifice of time you will be rewarded far above your expectations.
