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.

But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. – Philippians 3:13-14.

A heaven-born soul cannot without great peril be content to miss the smallest part of the Master’s will or the heavenly prize. Oh, ye who have been lingering in the wilderness and pursuing the endless round of a half-consecrated life awake from the dream of perpetual babyhood, put off the swaddling bands and the infant robes of your childishness and “Leaving the first principles of the doctrine of Christ let us go on unto manhood.”
