I think you will like ten-year-old Jason. You are about to smile at this youngster and just maybe learn something from him. Welcome to “Dr. Mike’s Daily Prescription” for today.

“But watch in all things” (2 Timothy 4:5).

“It’s going to be a big storm, isn’t it, Daddy?” ten-year-old Jason said. “I don’t like the way that sky is a-lookin’ in the southwest!” the little boy shouted.

“Jason Everett, you sound more and more like your grandpa every day! You’re ten, but you sound like my dad as he watches the skies,” Lucas said as he messed up his young son’s head of hair.

Within ten minutes, the tornado sirens started sounding! Jason was young, but he knew how to watch. This watching gives the idea of “being alert, understanding what is happening and thinking clearly.”

Young Jason was pretty good at watching. There are many things for which we must be watchful as well. We need to be people who are in God’s Word every day. We need to be people who will believe the Lord, take to heart what He says, put into practice the Scriptures, seek the help of the Lord, and to pray that the Lord will deliver us from complacency and indifference.

I’m challenged by this ten-year-old.: Even at this stage of my life, I need to be watching which means to “keep your heads and think clearly” is another way of saying “Watch in all things.” Oh, how I need this today. How about you?
