David's Sacred Water
Story★★★★Do you remember that story of how David in the heat of battle longed for water from the well of Bethlehem where he had drunk as a lad? At the wish, strong men sprang to arms, cut their way through the enemy, and brought him what he desired. It was only common water, but when he took it into his hands he could not drink it. The devotion and hazard of those men had made it for him a sacred thing, and he poured it out as an offering before God. So much that we take for granted would be seen on examination to be a privilege secured at great cost by those who went before us.
The point
David's men risked their lives to bring him water from his childhood well, but when he received it, he poured it out as an offering to God, showing how others' sacrifice elevates all gifts.
