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.

They recognized that they had been with Jesus. – Acts 4:13.

Christ reveals Himself to all His servants in the measure of their desire after Him. . . . And what we see we shall certainly show. The necessary accompaniment of vision is reflecting the thing beheld. If you look closely enough into a man’s eye, you will see in it little pictures of what he beholds at the moment; and if our hearts are beholding Christ, Christ will be mirrored and manifested on our hearts. Our characters will show what we are looking at, and we ought to bear His image so plainly, that men cannot but take knowledge of us that we have been with Jesus. . . . Do beholding and reflecting go together in your case?
