Dear friends
On an early morning long run I ended up in the city centre. The weather was overcast and drizzly and it felt like I had been running for a long time. Then a voice shouted from the bridge “keep going, don’t stop!” The command woke me up from the greyness as I saw a man sat on the floor, wrapped in a sleeping bag. Hebrews 10:24 says “And let us consider how we may spur one another on towards love and good deeds.” A spur is a small spike or small wheel a rider wears on their heel to help urge a horse forward or to direct the horse’s steps. It gives direct action to the horse and complements the words of the rider. It had the desired affect on me as I shouted thank you, picked up the pace and decisively picked my route. It’s a thought..
