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.

The answer of a good conscience toward God (1 Peter 3:21).

Conscience is God’s king, that He puts in a man’s breast; and conscience ought to reign. You may get up a civil war to fight against conscience; but you cannot kill the king. You may dethrone him for a while; but he struggles and fights for the mastery.
~ COLEY

Live according to God in the spirit (1 Peter 4.6).

Take care of your life: the Lord will take care of your death.
~ F. WHITFIELD

Be serious and watchful in your prayers (1 Peter 4.7).

Prayer is the conduit-pipe between my soul and heaven. It is the outlet upward for gratitude, and yearning desires for blessing; it is the inlet through which the supplies of grace pour downward into the heart.
~ CUYLER
