Mary, One Who Knew
Luke 2:19 (HCSB) But Mary was treasuring up all these things in her heart and meditating on them.
Another cool part of the Christmas story that often gets overlooked is this simple verse. Mary was watching what God was doing and “treasuring” and “meditating.” How much do you treasure and meditate on the things God is doing in your life or in the lives around you?
In the Psalms, God indicates that the righteous man will meditate on God’s Word…
Psalm 1:2 (HCSB) Instead, his delight is in the Lord’s instruction, and he meditates on it day and night.
Most of us know how to meditate. We do it all the time – only we call it worry. That’s bad meditation - focused thoughts on the negative or the possible negative from a situation. Good meditation is the focused thoughts on God, His Word, and the wonderful things that He is doing in our lives.
Meditate on Jesus this Christmas.
Pray: Dear God, help me meditate on you today rather than worry about tomorrow. Amen.
