Day 9 – Feet fitted with the gospel of peace

“𝐴𝑛𝑑 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑓𝑒𝑒𝑡 𝑠ℎ𝑜𝑑 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑔𝑜𝑠𝑝𝑒𝑙 𝑜𝑓 𝑝𝑒𝑎𝑐𝑒;” 𝐸𝑝ℎ𝑒𝑠𝑖𝑎𝑛𝑠 6:15 (𝐾𝐽𝑉)

Shoes give stability. Peace gives footing. When we know the Gospel, we are not easily shaken. Peace does not mean absence of conflict. It means stability in conflict. It means that even when you have to face conflict, fear, instability, or war, you know where your stability comes from. You are standing on the rock of faith in Jesus Christ. Is your footing unstable because you have drifted from the Gospel? Are you unstable due to forgetting where your footing should be? Are you lacking the security of knowing the Word, and it is shaking you? Just like your eyes should be focused on Jesus, so should your feet be secure in His peace. You can always be certain: if your footing is in Jesus’ peace, your feet will be stable, and God covers your back.

Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for giving me peace to dress my feet in. Thank you for always being the rock that my feet can be stable on. Amen.
