There was a tree that had grown to be very large and had a tire around the trunk of it. The only way that tire could have gotten there is for it to be set around the tree very early on. Parents are given the command to teach their children the ways of the Lord so that they may walk in those ways early on in their lives. We all come to a point where we tire from walking in a spiritual relationship with God, but when we come to those points we must go back to the reasons we first fell in love with God so that we can continue moving forward with Him.
