The Feet
How, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!"- Romans 10.14-15
I long to have beautiful feet! To have feet that say I have walked many miles in the way that the Lord has led me. Many people don't understand this journey that makes are feet no longer beautiful to the human eye. Where are feet are callus, and broken, from many miles of following are Lord.
Are world puts so much energy into loving beauty, and being are own person. I don't want to be a person of this world, I don't want to be my own person. I want to be a tool, I want to owned by the Mighty king, I want my feet to be worn and used, and want the Lord to see them as a thing of beauty.
This world puts labels on us as Christ followers, because it is against us. This world is ruled by Satan, and he does not want us to succeed. Satin does not want us to spread the good news, but the end is already written. And the Lord is on our side.
The lord is my light and my salvation-
Whom shall I fear?
The lord is the stronghold of my life-
Of whom shall I be afraid?
When evil men advance against
me to devour my flesh,
when my enemies and my foes attack
me,
they will stumble and fall.
Though an army besiege me,
my heart will not fear;
though war break out against me,
even then will I be confident.
One thing I ask of the Lord,
this is what I seek:
That I may dwell in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord
and to seek him in his temple.
For in the day of trouble
he will Keep me safe in his dwelling;
he will hide me in the shelter of his
tabernacle
and set me high upon a rock.
Then my head will be exalted
above the enemies who surround me;
at his tabernacle will I sacrifice with
shouts of joy;
I will sing and make music to the Lord.-psalms 27.1-6
The Lord is on ours side, he is our protector, so what do we fear, Man, whom God made? We have to ask ourselves what do we want out of this life. We can choose between surface happiness or eternal joy. I would rather live this life poor, persecuted, and looked down upon rather than have all the things this world would offer me. I'm am not perfect. I do not know all the answers. There are many followers of Christ who are far better than I, but on my journey I have learned on thing there is a God. This God is glorious, and when all else fails he is there. The one constant that we all seek, and if we can bulk up the courage to make him known, to share his word, and his love. Than maybe that one other person who is broken and looking for acceptance in a lonely world will discover the glorious love we have been keeping to ourselves.
I pray I can make him know. to have the courage to speak his word. That I can be his feet! My fear is that out of my own fear I will not bulk up the courage to speak his word. So, please pray this prayer for me as I will be praying for you
..
I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his spirit in you inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.- Ephesians 3.16-19
