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 same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. – Romans 10:15.

The sun does not shine for a few trees and flowers, but for the wide world’s joy. The lowly pine on the mountain-top waves its somber boughs, and cries, “Thou art my sun”; and the little meadow-violet lifts its cup of blue, and whispers with its perfumed breath, “Thou art my sun”; and the grain in a thousand fields rustles in the wind, and makes answer, “Thou art my sun.” So God sits effulgent in heaven, not for a favored few, but for the universe of life; and there is no creature so poor or so low, that he may not look up with childlike confidence, and say, “My Father, Thou art mine.”
