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.

Trust in Him at all time, you people. – Psalm 62:8.

A parable says that there was a great king who employed his people to weave for him. The silk, and wool, and patterns were all given by the king, and he looked for diligent working people. He was very indulgent, and told them when any difficulty arose to send to him, and he would help them; and never to fear troubling him, but to ask for help and instruction. Among many men and women busy at their looms was one little child whom the king did not think too young to work. Often alone at her work, cheerfully and patiently she labored. One day, when the men and women were distressed at the sight of their failures—the silks were tangled, and the weaving unlike the pattern—they gathered round the child and said, “Tell us how it is that you are so happy in your work. We are always in difficulties.” “Then why do you not send to the king?” said the little weaver; “he told us that we might do so.” “So we do, night and morning.” “Ah,” said the child, “but I send as often as I have a little tangle.”
