“Reading, studying, and pondering are not the same. We read
words and we may get ideas. We study and we may discover patterns and
connections in scripture. But when we ponder, we invite revelation by the
Spirit. Pondering, to me, is the thinking and the praying I do after reading
and studying in the scriptures carefully” (Pres Eyring. “Serve with the
Spirit,” Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2010, 60).
