"And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds." - Hebrews 10:24
Spurring one another on is an interesting thought, especially if we think about what a ‘SPUR’ really is. A horse SPUR is a device with a small spike on the end or a spiked wheel, that is worn on a horse rider's heel. It is used for urging a horse forward or encouraging it to listen to instructions.
I am not sure if we would like one another to use a spiked wheel to encourage us in our faith, but I think we understand the sentiment. There are times when we need our Christian family to strongly keep us focussed and on track.
Another definition of the word 'spur', is perhaps a little less painful - it is to “give
an incentive or encouragement to
(someone).”
Thought: Who needs an encouraging word today? How are you able to spur someone onto 'love and good deeds?'
