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 Jesus . . . in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. – Ephesians 2:20-21.

A man dreamed that he was trying to build for himself a temple to commemorate his name. He wanted a whole temple to himself, and an angel came to show him one that was a model of beauty. But there was one stone missing from its peak, and the man asked the angel where it was. “There has never been one there,” replied the angel. “We intended to place you there, but you say that you want a whole temple to yourself, and so the place will be filled by some one else. But you will never have your special temple.” Then the man, aroused by his fears, started up from his sleep, crying, “O, God, put me in your temple. Put me in, even though I can be but a chink stone. Put me in!”
