Good morning Zebras,
Years ago, I started walking with walking poles and because
of them I can walk faster than most people I come across. Every time someone comments on how quickly I
walk, I always give the credit to the poles.
I jokingly call them my Holy Spirit poles because they help me walk
faster.
The other day was the first time someone ever accused me of
cheating, he jokingly said, as I passed by “Hey, that’s not fair, you’re peddling
too.” In a “sport” where everyone just uses their legs and lower body strength I
chose to “cheat” and increase my speed by using my upper body too.
But it isn’t cheating, it’s just smart. Why should I settle for using half my muscle
groups when I can use them all?
Funny thing is, I love these poles, they have changed the
way I walk and I am always encouraging people to give them a try. But almost no one does.
This morning as I zipped around the park, I was thinking
about God, my poles and that man’s comment. The reason they aren’t cheating is
because they are available to anyone who wants to spend the money, look
foolish, and dedicate the time to learning to use them.
Just like the real Holy Spirit.
Love,
Jill
