Ponderizing Week 6: The Star Went Before Them

I decided to read through the beginning of the New Testament about Christ's life in preparation for Christmas. So get ready for some Christmas-themed scriptures! ;)
This week is Matthew 2:9

9 When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.

I loved this scripture. I have read a few scriptures lately that show God guiding His followers. I love to think that I'm not on my own. I can ask for help from those around me. There will be "stars" That will lead me to Christ.

Ponderizing Week Three: As the Light of the Morning

For week three, I chose Joseph Smith - Matthew verse 25-26.

25 Wherefore, if they shall say unto you: Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: Behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not;
26 For as the light of the morning cometh out of the east, and shineth even to the west, and covereth the whole earth, so shall the coming of the Son of Man be.

These scriptures are talking specifically about the Second Coming; however, I think it can apply to many things. There are a lot of situations, dating, career, financial choices and big health choices that can cause us to wonder, "Is this it? Should I do this?"
This scripture spoke peace to my soul as I was thinking the other day about some decisions and being scared that I wouldn't know them when they came. But I feel that the important things, God will make sure we know and don't miss. We won't have to worry about missing things important to our eternal salvation. :)
