Thinking, praying, reading, studying the Bible – when we do these things, we are reflecting on the Word of God. To reflect is to contemplate and/or consider, and God wants us to deeply reflect on His Word so that we can better understand Him.

Friday Reflecting

All the days of my hard service I will wait, Till my change comes. You shall call, and I will answer You. – Job 14:14-15.

When shall this change come? I know not, the patriarch replies, but I am content to wait for it “all the days of my appointed time.” Faith and Hope then express themselves in prayer, “Hide me in the grave,” he says, “keep me secret till Thy wrath be past,” and the day of peace and glory come—“appoint me a set time and remember me—then Thou shalt call and I will answer.” How beautiful is all this! The child lying down to rest asks the parent to remember him in the morning, and call him at the appointed time. And when the sun casts his glad beams over the earth, and all nature is awakening to joy, the father withdraws the curtains and bids his child arise. So shall it be with the blessed God and His children in the glad resurrection morning. He will remember to call them at the “time appointed,” and at His well-known voice they shall awake to sleep no more.
