And … here we are again, this the first Monday in February. How is yours shaping up?
While praying, I believe the Lord gave me a theme/Word/feeling for what He has for me this year 2015. January was such a rough start in many directions that I have taken that theme and just pondered on it all month. Do you ever do that? Just ponder on something?
Technically pondering just means thinking. But to me, especially in reference to things God says, pondering means more. It means to taste, savor, absorb, touch and feel with your thinking. It is much deeper than just thinking. There are several times in the Word where pondering is mentioned, but I think my favorite is from Luke 2:19.
But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. ~ Luke 2:19
It was upon all that she knew becoming manifested in flesh truth.
So I say all that to say, sometimes, and especially here, when you ask the Lord for direction and theme, and plans, and goals, when you get it … ponder for a bit.
More on that later … after I am done pondering and ready to share.
For today … my plans for this week.
Yummy menu post, because we need comfort foods this week. Brrrrrr.
