“You will satiate the wretched soul – then your light will shine in the darkness.” — Isaiah 58:10

Ole Kassov from Copenhagen likes to ride a bike. One morning, seeing an elderly man sitting alone with a walker in the park, he was ignited by a simple idea: why not offer the elderly the joy and freedom of cycling. And so, one sunny day, he stopped by a home for the elderly and offered everyone a ride on a rented tricycle. Ole was very happy when one of the employees and an elderly woman became the first participants in the “Bike Without Age” cycling race.

More than 20 years have passed since then. During this period, Ole made 2.5 million trips with the participation of about 575,000 elderly people. Where did he take them? See a friend, eat ice cream or just “feel the wind blowing in your hair”. Participants of these bike rides say that they now sleep better, eat better and feel less lonely.

Such a gift brings to life the beautiful words of God recorded in Isaiah 58:10-11: “You will satiate the poor soul, then your light will shine in the darkness, and your darkness will be like noonday, and the Lord will always guide you, and will feed your soul in drought, strengthen your bones, and you will become like a watered garden, and like a spring that does not water it.” dry up!”

God also said: “And your eternal sons will rebuild the ruins” (v. 12). What can God do through us? Let us always be ready to help others as God helps us.

Who needs help in your city? What can you do to help them today?

Dear God, show me a simple way to help others find life in You.
