Beautiful Feet

How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!
Romans 10:15b

I don't know exactly why, but lately this verse in particular has been on my heart. I remember first really noticing this verse my freshman year in college, when I went to Memphis and watched LeCrae perform his song titled "Beautiful Feet." I couldn't help but think about the awesome picture this painted.

Beautiful . . . and feet . . . how can these two words belong in the same sentence? As my friend Matt pointed out to me yesterday, the feet can be seen as our terrible wretched nature that can be made beautiful when we do the Lord's work. What an amazing picture of the redemption and covering we receive through following Christ! It is so promising to know He can take an ordinary and imperfect person like me and turn me into something beautiful to be used for His glory.

"But by the grace of God I am what I am . . ."
1 Corinthians 15:10

Blessings always,
