Spur Each Other On

And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. (Hebrews 10:24)

The word spur conjures a vision and brings the old west to mind of cattle drives and cowboys, of other times long left behind.

When used as "on the spur of the moment" it could even become an element of time or perhaps, a short section of rails that run off, away from the main line.

However, to do God's work, silver spurs we need not wear. Share the "Good News" with others as you travel about here and there.

Cowboys old and new wore their spurs to urge their horses to greater heights to do the job that needed done or face lonely sleepless nights.

The word "spur" has a much older meaning than that which was found in the west...The Bible, in Hebrews chapter ten, an early writer definitely says it best, "Let us consider how we may spur each other on toward love and good deeds."
Then ideas and good thoughts dawn, "encourage one another." The words brought to mind, "do not give up meeting together."

The true meaning of life you'll find...In other words, if you keep on traveling your old sinful path you shall surely experience the suffering of God's eternal wrath.

Remember, Jesus was sent to save us, from heaven above.

So above all, "spur" yourself and others on to believe and live...in God's eternal love.
