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.

No longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. – Galatians 2:20.

I watched an old man trout-fishing once, pulling them out one after another briskly. “You manage it cleverly, old friend,” I said. “I have passed a good many below who don’t seem to be doing anything.” The old man lifted himself up, and stuck his rod in the ground. “Well, you see, sir, there be three rules for trout-fishing; and ‘tis no use trying if you don’t mind them. The first is keep yourself out of sight. The second is keep yourself further out of sight. And the third is keep yourself further out of sight still. Then you’ll do it.” “Good for catching men, too,” I thought, as I went on my way.
