Better Than A Pedicure

How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news.” Isaiah 52:7
The world sells a lot of products so that a person can have beautiful feet. Two hundred years ago if a man saw a woman’s beautiful feet, they were practically engaged. Standards of expectation have certainly changed. But God’s expectation and declaration has not. His standard for beautiful feet is not a pedicure along with lotions to soften every part of the foot. His standard is what the feet are doing.
Think of how far Paul walked on his missionary journeys for over thirty years. Think of the callouses, the chipped toenails. God saw those feet as truly beautiful. Think of the colporteurs who have tramped through the mountainous regions of Asia to spread tracks and Christian literature to the unreached people who live there. Think of their calloused feet. God declares them beautiful. If our feet take us anywhere where we share the Good News of Christ, God declares our feet beautiful. For God we don’t need a pedicure. For God we feet that bear Good News.

Dear Father, Help us to see things as You see them. Amen.
