CONTEMPLATION

Contemplate the example of David’s self-restraint (II Samuel 23):

* How, during battle against the Philistines, David became thirsty, and asked who would bring him water from the well in Bethlehem, which was held by the Philistines;

* How three heroes slipped through the enemy lines, and brought water back to their king;

* How David did not want to drink, but rather poured the water on the ground, saying: Is not this the blood of the men that went in jeopardy of their lives?
