Beautiful Feet!

After the long flight to Johannesburg, our ankles were swollen and our spirits challenged by the unexpected delay of two days before the next flight into Mozambique. As we rested that first night, we wondered what God was doing. We had glimpses of his Divine Plan as we prayed for people God put in our path in South Africa. Once we got into Mozambique, we immediately experience a most divine appointment with the boy who had no shoes. Click here.
Tonight I was reading Romans 10 and came across one of my favorite verses: "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring the good news!"Paul is explaining to the Romans that living the Christian lifestyle is important, but we must also "preach" the good news. Paul asks us: " . . how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? Evangelism is more than just living a certain way; we must not only "go", but we must "tell". Some of us are actually called to get on a plane and fly half way around the world to share the gospel with those who haven't heard it yet, but most of us are called to turn around and look to the north, the south, the east, and the west of our homes and simply ask God to direct our feet. Who is it that God is putting on your heart today? Who is it that will be forever changed because of your obedience to share the wonderful news that Jesus loves them and died so that they might be forgiven and set free from the chains that bind them? What a privilege to be a part of the transformation of a single life! Go and tell!
