And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Ephesians 6:15
First thing I thought of when thinking about putting on the correct footwear, is how I love to go barefoot! But sometimes going barefoot gets me in to some sticky situations. I pick up sap from our spruce trees in our back yard, and then dirt, sticks, pebbles and splinters coat the bottoms of my feet. Painful too.
When my feet aren't properly attired, I find myself walking in the wrong direction, into places I shouldn't enter, or maybe I have stood beside someone who is a bad influence on my life. Instead of picking up dirt, sticks and pebbles, I'm picking up bad habits, bad attitudes. My feet are in the world, instead of standing firm in the gospel of peace, walking the gospel to my lost friends or family members.
But when I put on the right footwear, I'm ready and prepared to make use of the gospel of peace to all those I encounter throughout my day, and then guess what happens?
According to Romans 10:15 I will have beautiful feet!
And I want to have beautiful feet...
But that's just me!
