REFLECTIONS FOR
YOUTH
POISON
One hot summer day
Sammy, a young boy
in the South, woke up
early to go fishing. He stopped along his walk to the
river to dig up some worms. After turning an old
stump over, Sammy hit the jackpot with all the
plump, squirming worms he would need. He headed
down to the river.
Sammy reached into the worm
bucket, pulled out the biggest
one, double hooked it, and
dropped it into the water. He
noticed a strange stinging sensation in his hand as he put the
worm on the hook. BUT, before
he could think about that, Sammy
pulled in his first big catfish.
Sammy was in the right spot but each time he put his
hand into the worm bucket he felt a sting on his arm,
but paid it no attention because the fishing was
good! Sammy kept catching one fish after another
but ignored the stinging in his hand. His hand began
to feel numb and stiff but he had caught 8 large fish
and wanted more!
After awhile Sammy’s father came down to join him.
Proudly Sammy held up his stringer of big catfish. He
was pretty proud. As Sammy’s father approached he
noticed his son’s arms was badly swollen to twice its
size and really red.
“Sammy,” his father asked, “what are you using for
bait?” Sammy opened up his worm bucket and
showed his father. His father turned pale as he
looked into the bucket...he scooped Sammy up and
headed for the hospital but Sammy was already
dead.
Sammy’s father discovered that his son had been
fishing with baby rattlesnakes, not worms. Sammy’s
deadly bait brought him a good morning of fishing
but cost him his life. Had Sammy stopped fishing
after the first sting, he could have been saved. But
Sammy was having too much fun to bother with the
pain and instead ignored it.
Playing around with and not dealing with sin is just
like using rattlesnakes for fishing bait.
•

•
Sin will take you further than you wanted to go!
Sin will keep you longer than you want to stay!
Sin will cost you more than you thought you
would pay!
WHAT ARE YOU FISHING WITH?
