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.

The LORD lifts up the humble. – Psalm 147:6.

Oh! how few, how rare are those meek ones! Am I one of them, O Lord? Am I quite content to be overlooked in the day when Thou distributes honors on the earth? Am I willing to be made of no account? Is my chief ambition to be useful, eminently but not ostensibly useful? And if I get this spirit one day, does it abide with me? Do I not find myself coming into new circumstances where my mean estate troubles me? And through some insidious suggestion does there arise impatience of God’s depressing providence? Thou Who art meek and lowly of heart, teach me to be meek, give me a meekness that shall pass through every ordeal.
