#577: Water Bottles

Is your son ready?

John David was giving the boys a last-minute pack check before heading out on a week-long hike and campout of over eighty miles, when he noticed they only had one water bottle apiece.  The trails were long and dusty, and many times there would be no streams or rivers along the way, and they could only find water to filter at the end of the day.  He quickly got them more water bottles, and they were ready for the trip.

One sip of a Sunday sermon is not enough to carry your son through the week.  Teach him to drink deeply of the word, daily refreshing himself by streams of pure water in scripture. Morning and nightly draughts from God’s word will sustain him, clear his mind, and give him strength to carry on.
