But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. (Luke 1:19)
Thoughts: Mary kept these words or these things that were said. Tradition says that Luke received most of his information about these stories from Mary. Luke gives us a glimpse into the thoughts of Mary. She kept them- or treasured them deep down. But she also pondered them (sumballousa). That is she went over them- time and again. She chewed or digested them. She meditated on them. We should treasure the times God works in our lives, and think about these things too. In God's providence, He works in our lives, and we should pay attention to what God is doing.
Prayer: Lord, let me reflect on what you have done this past year.
