8But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart," that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: 9That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. 11As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame." 12For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."
14How, 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? 15And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!" (bolded by me)
Romans 10:8 - 15
The question we were challenged with before and that the girls and I challenged ourselves with this week: How beautiful are your feet? We're called multiple times to go and share the gospel, the good news of Jesus Christ. But, are we going? And are we sharing Him in our own backyard? As the passage above says perfectly, how can they believe in Him if they aren't told (and shown, so our daily living is a party of it)? One of the missionary couples that spoke this weekend has been working with a people group in Africa. Before their work, there were no known believers in this people group. Because of their obedience to the Lord, they have been used to lead people to Christ and they shared numerous stories evidencing God's work there. Their feet are beautiful, are they not? I was definitely challenged (and convicted) over the past couple of weeks as I reviewed my own life. My prayer in sharing this with you is that you, too, will be challenged. Do you go? Or are you just comfortable where you are?
I encourage you to ponder and pray: How beautiful are your feet?
And, if you don't have a relationship with the Lord, I implore you - He loves you and wants to save you! Surrender to Him today, and you'll never be the same. Leave me a comment if you'd like to discuss this further.
Blessings to each of you!
