But Mary was treasuring up all these things in her heart and meditating on them. (Luke 2:19)
As I read that, I was thinking to myself, “How often do I do this? When God does good things in my life, do I treasure these things in my heart? And how much do I meditate on them?”
It is so easy to forget the good things God does in our lives. If we don’t purposely treasure them in our hearts, then when hard times come, it becomes easy to lose heart.
In life, there are swords that pierce our souls (35).
So when God shows his goodness to us, let’s write it down in our hearts.
Better yet, keep a written record somewhere. In a diary. In a Word file on your smartphone or computer.
Don’t forget the good things God has done for you. Treasure them. Meditate on them.
And like the shepherds, share with others the things you have seen God do in your life.
