Beautiful Feet

How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” Romans 10:14-15, NIV
I was in Georgia last week attending an Operation Christmas Child Connect Conference. Our theme, “Go”, was based upon Romans 10:14-15 with emphasis on, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” What a privilege to carry the good news of Jesus Christ to others, proclaiming peace, good tidings, salvation; sharing with others the knowledge, “Our God Reigns", (Isaiah 52:7). 


Do you have beautiful feet? Are you carrying the good news of Christ to a lost and dying world? As disciples of Christ, we are to go and make disciples of others; we are to obey the commands of Jesus and we are to teach others to obey His commands, (Matthew 28:19-20). 


Duty demands we be serious about evangelism for those who ignore salvation face eternal separation from God. 1 Corinthians 3:5-9 explains that as disciples we are co-workers in the service of God, each with a task to complete—some plow, some plant and some water, but it is God that gives the increase. You see, you are not alone; other disciples are working also. And most importantly, God is supplying us with the grace and wisdom needed to accomplish the task.

I will declare Your name to my brothers; in the congregation I will praise You. Psalm 22:22, NIV
May God richly bless your beautiful feet!
