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.

Christ, who is the image of God. – 2 Corinthians 4:4.

The moon, a softer but not less beautiful object than the sun, returns, and communicates to mankind, the light of the sun in a gentle and delightful manner, exactly suited to the strength of the human eye: an illustration and most beautiful emblem, in this and other respects, of the Divine Redeemer of mankind, Who, softening the splendor of the Godhead, brings it to the eye of the understanding in a manner fitted to the strength of the mind, so that, without being overwhelmed or distressed, it can thus behold “the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.”
