David
said longingly, “O that someone would give me to drink from the well of
Bethlehem that
is by the gate.” – 2 SAMUEL 23:15
In a biblical anecdote
meant to exalt the valor of David’s warriors, we hear the young leader’s
careless words about his heart’s desire – water from home to which nothing else
can compare. His warriors brave the enemy’s lines to get him that water, water
that becomes too precious to drink when David realizes they have risked their
lives to fulfill his wish.
This might be the day to
speak carefully, knowing that our words have impact beyond what we might
think.
