There is a lot to think about with our topic today. From a martial arts standpoint feet are important. As you engage in battle you need to widen your stance. I mean you need to stand with your feet about shoulders width apart. This makes you more stable and less likely to be knocked over. We need to protect our feet. Like the child’s song says, “Oh be careful little feet where you go.”
Look at Ephesians 6:15, “And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;” The word “shod” means to bind under one’s feet, i.e. put on shoes or sandals. If we are going to engage in battle then we need to have our feet protected and placed in the right stance to make sure we have stability.
As I am preparing this post today I am reminded of the parable of the Good Samaritan. This man lay on the side of the road left for dead. The religious crowd walked by. One even moved to the other side of the road to walk on by. God forbid! God has equipped is to walk over to those in need. He especially wants us to walk over to them in the heat of battle because they might need to be rescued or encouraged.
So, how are you doing?
