Words From A Dry Well?

In Luke 21 Jesus is speaking to his disciples. In the context of persecution, he says in verse 14, Settle it therefore in your minds not to meditate beforehand how to answer, for I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which none of your adversities will be able to withstand or contradict. 


I was reading Acts 6 and 7 this morning and was reminded of the above verse. In chapter 7 Stephen gives a wonderful speech, and at the end gives a sharp rebuke to the Jewish leaders who killed Jesus the Christ. After the speech, the leaders are so angry that they are gnashing their teeth, and cupping their hands over their ears; all the while running toward Stephen as he speaks. They drag him out of the city and throw stones at him until he takes his final breath on this earth.

In persecution, surely Jesus gives the endurance to make it through. He also says that he will give the words needed as well. But I am thinking that these words to not come from a well that is dried up.

What kind of things are you pouring into your well? Are you filling it up with things that are good, true and wise? Stephen, in his speech, gave a recap of the entire Bible, from Abraham forward to the time of his speaking. Could I do this? Could you start with Adam and work your way forward giving a fly by of the major events in the Scriptures? If not, why not?
