經文: 馬利亞卻把這一切的事存在心�，反復思想。（路加福音二：19）

這位蒙福的女子在她生命中操練了三種能力；她的記憶──她記住這一切的事；她的情感──她把這些事存在心�；她的理解──反復思想。親愛的，要記住所聽到有關主耶穌的事並祂為你所作的一切。讓你的心成為盛裝嗎哪的罐子，來保存過去日子中餵養你的、從天降下的糧食。讓每一件有關基督的事，無論是你感受的、明白的或相信的，成為你記憶中的寶藏。然後讓你喜悅的情感永遠緊擁著祂。愛你的主本人！將你心中的玉瓶帶來，雖然它可能已經破碎，但讓你愛情的珍貴香膏澆流在祂被刺穿的腳上，默想你所讀到的，不要只停留在表面上，要潛入深處。不要只像蜻蜓點水一般，反要像魚潛入最深的波浪中。住在你的主�面，不要讓祂像流浪者般只住一宿就離去了。強留祂，說：「時候晚了……請您同我們住下吧。」（路二十四：29）。緊抓住祂不讓祂走。「反復思想」的意思是衡量。但是可以衡量主基督的秤在何處呢？「用秤稱山嶺」（賽四十：12），我們要用什麼秤去稱祂？倘若你的理解力不能領悟祂，讓你的愛去佔有祂。你的靈若不能以理解來包圍祂，就以愛的手臂去環抱祂。

Scripture: "But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart."(Luke 2:19)

There was an exercise, on the part of this blessed woman, of three powers of her being: her memory—she kept all these things; her affections—she kept them in her heart; her intellect—she pondered them; so that memory, affection, and understanding, were all exercised about the things which she had heard. Beloved, remember what you have heard of your Lord Jesus, and what he has done for you; make your heart the golden pot of manna to preserve the memorial of the heavenly bread whereon you have fed in days gone by. Let your memory treasure up everything about Christ which you have either felt, or known, or believed, and then let your fond affections hold him fast for evermore. Love the person of your Lord! Bring forth the alabaster box of your heart, even though it be broken, and let all the precious ointment of your affection come streaming on his pierced feet. Let your intellect be exercised concerning the Lord Jesus. Meditate upon what you read: stop not at the surface; dive into the depths. Be not as the swallow which toucheth the brook with her wing, but as the fish which penetrates the lowest wave. Abide with your Lord: let him not be to you as a wayfaring man, that tarrieth for a night, but constrain him, saying, "Abide with us, for the day is far spent." Hold him, and do not let him go. The word "ponder," means to weigh. Make ready the balances of judgment. Oh, but where are the scales that can weigh the Lord Christ? "He taketh up the isles as a very little thing:"—who shall take him up? "He weigheth the mountains in scales"—in what scales shall we weigh him? Be it so, if your understanding cannot comprehend, let your affections apprehend; and if your spirit cannot compass the Lord Jesus in the grasp of understanding, let it embrace him in the arms of affection.
