Then we have new choices. Attitudinal ones.
Will we "slow" because we have to, thus wearing a burden or agitation on our shoulder?
Will we choose to "slow" with acceptance, by His grace.
Slowing allows time for pondering.
Pondering can lead to praying with folded hands.
Praying can be encouraging for self...
...and others as one "pays it forward" with a smile on his face.
Note last letters in encouraging. Do something to encourage someone else---maybe someone a little older, and allow the Lord to take the aging process out of your self-focus to focus on others!
Pondering, as a verb, is to think carefully (Philippians 4:8) about something. Chew on. Contemplate. Consider. Dwell on.
But.....pondering requires slowing. Slow down today so that your ponderings (noun) might be "God-focused"
