Pondering

We've all read or thought of things that make you go "Hmm?". They make you ponder on why certain things happen like they do. Here is part of a list I received recently - think about them.

- I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes.
- The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth.
 - Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again.
- All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.
 - How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire?

These are fun mental exercises, but a better place to meditate or ponder is on the Bible, God's Word. Consider Psalm Chapter One:

1How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the path of sinners, Nor sit in the seat of scoffers! 2But his delight is in the law of the LORD,  And in His law he meditates day and night. 3He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, Which yields its fruit in its season
  And its leaf does not wither; And in whatever he does, he prospers.
 4The wicked are not so, But they are like chaff which the wind drives away. 5Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
6For the LORD knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the wicked will perish.

Be wise today and always - think of the ways and thoughts of God.
