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.

I delight to do Your will, O my God. – Psalm 40:8.

We need to watch against a “grudging service.” The enemy is always trying to get in the word “duty” instead of the word “delight”; he says a stern “you must” instead of the loving “you may.” There is no slavery like the slavery of love, but its chains are sweet. It knows nothing of “sacrifice,” no matter what may be given up. It delights to do the will of the beloved one.
