How important are the feet? When you think about it, the feet are the foundation of the body; when there is a problem with them we find it hard to walk, run or even stand for any period of time. When we are endowed with health we seldom consider the importance of our body members, while they are all needed; the feet have a special assignment in holding the body up.

To protect the feet we wear shoes, the shoes we wear are also important to the health and protection of the feet; the wrong shoes can do great harm. They must fit the purpose of use intended and the correct size needed to protect properly. We are instructed in God’s word to fit our feet with the gospel of peace, ready to share the goodness of God with whomever and whenever the opportunity comes.

We must step into the work shoes of Christ, Isaiah 52:7 tells us ” how beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bring good news, that proclaims peace, who bring glad tidings of good things; who proclaim salvation, who says to Zion, your God reigns”. Every day Jesus strapped on His sandals and walked among the hurting, sin filled, neglected people of His time.

His sandals were His work shoes, He walked many road and visited many towns to serve those in need of healing, forgiveness, and salvation for their souls. No one in need was cast aside or denied His touch. His love and compassion was offered to all who desired the gift of life He came to give. Each one of us who has chosen to walk the path He walked has a pair of work shoes that will perfectly fit our feet.

When we step into them we will be prepared to carry out His mandate to all His children, “go into all the world”; we will walk as He walked and love as He loved, no one will be cast out or denied the touch of love from Him that flows through each of us. We will meet hatred with understanding and forgiveness; viewing all through the lens of His love.
