Beautiful Feet

The Bible calls the feet of those that deliver the message of God's heart beautiful. This is an interesting thought to me.

Many things are said of feet within the scriptures. However, this scripture has always meant something special to me. This does not speak simply of the appearance of our feet. The definition of the word beautiful in the Hebrew is " to be at home". This word is only used three times in the entire scripture.

Isaiah 52 states that our feet are beautiful "upon the mountain" when they mobilizing on behalf of the message of the Father. This does not simply mean that we live on the top of the mountain. I recently returned back from a ministry trip to France. The locations where we were invited to speak were amazing. The incredible landscape and handy-work of God overwhelms me at times. On several occasions we journeyed to a gathering place that was strategically placed atop a mountain. It was necessary as we journeyed to gather together to climb the steep terrain.

This is the picture of this passage. We do not live on top of the mountain. Our feet are to be "at home" as we navigate the difficult terrain necessary to deliver the message of the Lord. We are at home here. It is easy to feel at home on top of the mountain. Our joyful place of function is to be found in the process of doing whatever necessary to fulfill the will of our Father. This is what He calls beautiful.

Publish Peace. Isaiah 52:7
