Luke 2:19 But Mary kept all these things and pondered
them in her heart.

● NLT - but Mary kept all these things in her heart
and thought about them often.
● MSG - Mary kept all these things to herself, holding
them dear, deep within herself.
● TPT - But Mary treasured all these things in her
heart and often pondered what they meant.

Phil 3:7 But what things were gain to me, these I have
counted loss for Christ. 8 Yet indeed I also count all
things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ
Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all
things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain
Christ 9 and be found in Him, not having my own
righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is
through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from
God by faith; 10 that I may know Him and the power of
His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings,
being conformed to His death

Rev 3:14-21 Church at Laodicea

● Not hot or cold
● I’m rich and have need of nothing...don’t know that
you are actually poor, blind, & naked.
● It’s like we get lulled to sleep or distracted by doing
good, being successful, or overcoming that we
forget why we are doing good, why we are being
successful, why we are overcoming.
● There is a way out of this “luke-warm”
state...whom the Lord loves, He corrects. He says
be zealous and repent.
● Get excited and change your ways!!
● He says “I’m knocking at the door...if you open up I
will come in and dine...or be with you”
● Then He talks of overcoming again!!

1 Cor 11:28 let a man examine himself

Buy from Me gold that you may be rich

● Psalm 19, 119, Prov. 3, 4, 8, & 16 all compare the
word, ways, statues, and wisdom of the Lord to
gold, fine gold.
● It may not be easy to get into the Word of God. To
lay up for yourself treasures in heaven. To seek
first the kingdom of God. To be a doer of the Word
of God.
● But it pays!! Withstand the storms of life, Blessed
in what you do, Prosperous and good success

Buy from Me garments that you may be clothed.

● 2 Cor 5, Is. 61, Gal 3, Rom 13, Eph 4, & Col 3 all talk
of taking off the old man, putting on the new,
being clothed with righteousness & salvation.
● Rom 12 says present your bodies a living
sacrifice...this is reasonable service.
● You can do all things through Christ who
strengthens you...that means you can take off the
old man, and clothe yourself with the new.
Anoint your eyes that you may see
● 2 Cor 4, 1 Cor 2, John 16, & Eph 1 all talk of your
eyes being enlightened, or seeing clearly, or
wisdom being revealed to you.
● The Holy Spirit can change your “vision” in a
moment...you can see differently, or clearly
