Tuesday greetings!
The last time I had a pedicure was right before Christmas. It’s about time for some nail clipping, cuticle cutting, and fresh nail polish. Essie Marshmallow, please! At this point I am steeling myself for the professional-grade sander my nail lady will whip out because I know it's going to tickle like crazy. And yet, dear people, I can still have beautiful feet!
Romans 10:15 "…How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!"
That’s right! Whenever you or I get up and go to encourage someone with the good news of God’s forgiveness, blessings, eternal salvation, joy, love, hope, provision, faith, peace, healing, and/or protection, that makes our feet – pedicured or not – beautiful.
Notice how this verse does not say, “How beautiful are the lips of those who bring good news.” Sometimes, we need to get up and go and make a person-to-person connection. A phone call or a text might not be enough. I have a buddy who twice, on the day before each of my children were to be married, showed up at the venue and prayed over every detail of the celebration. What a blessing. My total focus at that moment was not on how her feet literally looked as much as how completely wonderful and thoughtful she was for showing up. She took the time to invite God's goodness and peace at a time I needed it the most!
May all our feet be “beautiful” on a regular basis.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, Thank You for the beautiful feet of those who have reached out to us in the past. Bless them for their encouraging words, and bless us as we get up and go encourage others. In Jesus’ name, AMEN~
