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.

Tuesday Reflecting

Surely every man walks about like a shadow; Surely they busy themselves in vain. – Psalm 39:6.

Did you ever stand upon the shore on some day of that uncertain weather when gloom and glory meet together, and notice how swiftly there went racing over miles of billows a darkening that quenched all the play of color in the waves, as if all suddenly the angel of the waters had spread his broad wings between sun and sea, and then how, in another moment, as swiftly it flits away, and with a burst the light blazes out again, and leagues of ocean flash into green and violet and blue? So fleeting, so utterly perishable are our lives, for all their seeming show of solid permanency.
~ MCLAREN
