Why is it necessary to ponder on the things we have experienced?

Thomas R. Valletta

“The scriptures are one of our greatest treasures. They contain God’s instructions to His people from the beginning of time. In a world so full of the doctrines of men, how grateful we are to have a sure anchor on which to build our faith!” (Perry, “Back to Gospel Basics,” 92).

“Pondering a scripture … gives great direction to life. … Pondering a passage of scripture can be a key to unlock revelation and the guidance and inspiration of the Holy Ghost. Scriptures can calm an agitated soul, giving peace, hope, and a restoration of confidence in one’s ability to overcome the challenges of life” (Scott, “Power of Scripture,” 6).
