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.

Thursday Reflecting

Cast your burden on the LORD, And He shall sustain you. – Psalm 55:22.

What an immense lot of overloaded people there are in this world! We can see it in their careworn faces; and each one thinks his burden is the heaviest. There is a certain kind of care that is wise; a man who has no forethought for the future is a sluggard or a fool. The apostle had no reference to a wise thoughtfulness for the future when he said, “Cast all your care upon Him, for He careth for you.” That much perverted verse is accurately translated in the Revised Version—“casting all your anxiety on Him because He careth for you.” Now just what our almighty and all-loving Father offers is—to help carry our loads. He who watched over the infant deliverer of Israel in his cradle of rushes, who sent His ravens to feed Elijah by the brookside, who protected Daniel in the den, and kept Paul calm and cheerful in the hurricane, is the very One who says to us—Roll your anxieties over on Me, for I have you in My heart!
