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 at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light. – Ephesians 5:8.

That you may give light, be sure you have light. When the Atlantic cable is alive, that is when its insulation is perfect, and it is fitted for its work, a bright light is reflected on a mirror, and thence on a dial, and its movements give the signs. When it is dead—that is when its insulation is destroyed, and the current is running to the earth—that light disappears. So when the soul is alive, its light shines; when it is dead, there is darkness.
