The Wisdom of Careful Observation

What are you pondering this week?

This Sabbath (8/17), we covered a lot of things hat Solomon hit on in his essay of Ecclesiastes. Our tendency might be to walk away and think, “Hmm. That was kind of interesting. He kind made me think. I liked our discussion.”

But if that is all you take into the week, you are missing the point. Choose one verse, one point, one proverb we discussed that you can ponder this week. Ask God to give you insight into this verse.

Then write it out somewhere you’ll see it frequently. Make a mental list of multiple ways you could apply this to your life. Send it as a text to your friend—or to yourself. Post it on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, or even Pinterest (#ElevationSS).

Soak deeply in the sauna of God’s Word this week with that one verse on your mind. And see if it doesn't begin to sweat out from your pores as it takes root in your heart and mind and God uses it to transform the way you live and think.
