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.

I know whom I have believed (2 Timothy 1:12).

Personal acquaintance with Christ is a living thing, like a tree that uses every hour for growth. It thrives in sunshine, it is refreshed by rain—even the storm drives it to fasten its grip more firmly in the earth for its support. So, troubled heart, in all experience, say, “This comes that I may make closer acquaintance with my Lord.”

A soldier lay dying in the hospital, in terrible agony. A visitor asked him, “What church are you of?”

“Of the church of Christ,” he replied.

“I mean of what persuasion are you?” asked the visitor.

“Persuasion,” said the dying man, as his eyes looked heavenward, beaming with love to the Saviour, “I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate me from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus.”
