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.
Cast thine eyes which way thou wilt, and thou shalt hardly look on anything but Christ Jesus hath taken the name of that very thing upon himself. Is it day? and dost thou behold the sun? He is called the Sun of righteousness. Or is it night? and dost thou behold the stars? He is called a star: “There shall come a Star out of Jacob.” Or is it morning? and dost thou behold the morning-star? He is called “the bright and Morning-Star.” Or is it noon? and dost thou behold clear light all the world over? He is “that Light that lights every man that cometh into the world.” Come a little nearer: if thou looks on the earth, and takes a view of the creatures about thee, see thou the sheep? “As a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so He opened not His mouth.” Or see thou a lamb? “Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” Seest thou a shepherd watching over his flock? “I am the good Shepherd, and know My sheep, and am known of Mine.” Or see thou a fountain, rivers, waters? He is called a fountain: “In that day there shall be a Fountain opened to the house of David.” Or see thou a tree good for food, or pleasant to the eye? He is called “the Tree of life.” Seest thou a rose, a lily, any fair flower in a garden? He is “the Rose of Sharon, and the Lily of the valley.” To come a little nearer yet: art thou adorning thyself, and take thou a view of thy garments? He is a garment: “Put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ.” Art thou eating meat, and take a view of what is on thy table? He is the Bread of God; true Bread from heaven; the Bread of life.
