It's amazing what people will do to make their feet more attractive. OK, it's amazing what WOMEN will do to make their feet more attractive; we guys tend not to pay much attention to our feet unless they hurt or itch! A stroll through a drug store will reveal aisles filled with pumice stones on handles for rubbing away callouses, there is the "pedi-egg" for sale on TV that scrapes rough skin off of your feet without making a mess (yeah, but do the HAVE to dump it out of the container on TV to show you where it goes? Eww!), not to mention lotions, pedicures, toenail painting (for open toed shoes and flip-flop season) and so on! Then we have shoes! Women will shop for shoes that make their "ankles look skinny"! I'm not kidding, I really overheard someone say that! I buy shoes because they fit, are comfortable, don't clash with my clothes and maybe because they are functional; like work boots.
But there is a way that we can have beautiful feet without spending a fortune on pedicures and heels; and it's in the Bible! How beautiful, says the Bible in Isaiah, are the feet of those who bear God's good news; the gospel! So the next time that you have the opportunity to share with someone what Jesus has done for you, and to invite them to church, just remember; it's not only good for your soul (and theirs) but for your feet! Seriously though, what more beautiful and caring thing can you do besides leading someone to Christ? 52:7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good tidings, who publishes peace, who brings good tidings of good, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, "Your God reigns." |
