We are now in the 4th month of lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Slowly easing out and carefully moving about. It has been a strange and disturbing time of isolation for us - unable to enjoy the face-to-face contact we previously enjoyed with friends and family.

We can put our hope in many things - from the major to the mundane. From hope for good health to good weather. However, we can never be sure that we’ll keep or obtain what we hope for.

To us runners in the race, perhaps weary and disheartened, the author of Hebrews gives us some words of exhortation.

God, don’t you see? Don’t you care? As we face difficult circumstances these questions of doubt and despair can rise from our hearts.
