This week in Primarily Scripture we shift from “searching” tips to the practice of pondering, which means focusing on identifying and deeply considering what you find in scripture stories. Using Daniel 3, we ponder the feelings behind King Nebuchadnezzar’s threatening tone, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego’s bold courage and faith, and the king’s escalating fury that endangers even his own soldiers. This pondering leads to self-reflection about controlling temper and the idea that the natural man is an enemy to God. Then we talk about how pondering the “big picture” across several chapters can help us to better understand Nebuchadnezzar’s character and appreciate his later humbling and turn to the Lord.

Don't forget the parable of the snowball: listening to someone else talk about the gospel is like having snowballs thrown at you. Reading the scriptures is like making your own snowball. Taking the time to search, ponder, and pray about what you've read is like rolling the snowball around and around so that it grows and grows. So don't just listen to me - please go read for yourself so your knowledge and testimony can grow and grow!!

This week we are in the book of Ezekiel, which is FULL of symbolism, so I’m giving you a simple 3-step pattern to help you understand symbolism better. First find the object’s literal meaning, next explore the context, and then relate it to a spiritual meaning. We work through a couple of verses and symbols together so you can see just how easy it is!

Cindy Young introduces this week’s Come, Follow Me reading (Jeremiah 31–33, 36–39; Lamentations 1 & 3) and teaches how to “search for what comes next” in the scriptures beyond simple if-then statements. Using Lamentations 3, she highlights how “though” and “yet” show that grief and consequences are not the end of the story because the Lord can still have compassion and mercy. She also reviews how “therefore” signals a dependent consequence, focusing on Lamentations 3:21 (“This I recall… therefore have I hope”) and models how to find what “this” refers to by looking backward and forward in the verses, connecting hope to humility, the Lord’s mercies, and compassions that are “new every morning.”
