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.

Bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart. – Ephesians 6:6.

We must never forget that we are learning by doing God’s will, and that His will does not all come to us out of a written Bible. Some of it comes fresh from God’s own lips in our life’s circumstances. In whatever way it may come, we are to do it, and in doing it we will find a blessing. Hard tasks and duties are like nuts: they are rough and unsightly, and the hull is not easy to break; but when it is broken we find it full of rich meat.
