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.

For you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body [and in your spirit, which are God’s]. – 1 Corinthians 6:20. (Older versions such as the KJV and NKJV added the text found in brackets).

Into the slave-market of this world God hath gone in the person of His Son, and paid the tremendous price which authorizes Him to take as many as He can find willing to go, and create them anew in the image of the Son.… It is not a fragment of you that has been purchased; but the whole. You would hardly presume to say that the price was inadequate. Yet do you not seem to say so? How much of your time is the Lord’s? Do you dress, feed, employ your body as unto the Lord? Is your tongue, your hand consecrated all to Him? Your memory, imagination, hope? Your love and faith? Your houses and lands? Your influence?
