Taking Care of Your Feet

"The Lord said... get ready to cross... into the land... I will give you every place where you set your foot." -Joshua 1:1-3

"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." -John 14:27

Grabbing a quick bite before getting back in the car, I struck up a conversation with a cheery woman in the café. I commented on her nifty silver sneakers. She replied, "They are so comfortable, and I have to be on my feet all day. You know, I used to work with horses, and you know what they always say (I didn't), if you don't take care of their feet then the horse won't be worth anything."

If shoes hurt my feet, it's a miserable feeling. Plus it incapacitates me getting around. How important are good shoes for the well-being of our feet, and for us?

Later that morning I was donning my spiritual clothing for the day, the armor of God. (Eph 6). When I got to the feet part, it grabbed me - put on the sandals, the shoes, of peace.

Jesus Himself is our Peace (Eph. 2:14) when we are walking in His shoes we live a life of forgiveness, kindness, honesty, love, and peace.

Taking care of my feet is absolutely important! Not a problem, with the right kind of, right-fitting, one-size-fits-all shoes of Peace.
