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.

You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ (2 Timothy 2:3).

Do not let the warmth by the camp-fire, or the pleasantness of the shady place where your tent is pitched, keep you there when the cloud lifts. Be ready for change, be ready for continuance, because you are in fellowship with your Leader and Commander; and let Him say, Go, and you go; Do this, and you gladly do it, until the hour when He will whisper, Come; and, as you come, the river will part, and the journey will be over. And “the fiery, cloudy pillar,” that “guided you all your journey through,” will spread itself out an abiding glory, in that higher home where “the Lamb is the light thereof.”
