Oh, I'm so excited about this post, because it is pretty much my life-testimony in a nut-shell. It came to me as I was studying Isaiah 52 this week in BSF, and, upon reading verse 7 (How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!), I began reminiscing to back when I was 12 or so. One of my favorite songs to sing was "Beautiful Feet" by Sandi Patti. I didn't fully understand the meaning of it until about a year later when I participated in a Biblestudy and started asking some serious questions.I had been taught alot about the Bible, but, it didn't really click and become real to me until I started searching for myself. I had alot of people with "beautiful feet" in my life who were faithfully preaching the gospel of peace and bringing glad tidings of good things to me, but I hadn't welcomed them as "beautiful feet" yet. It wasn't until I began to realize that I had a wrestling match going on within me and I started asking some serious questions. My sinful habits were torturing me and I began to freak out over my tendency to do evil things. Finally, I was truly ready for the good news of liberty from my spiritual bondage that those "beautiful feet" had been bringing me. The good news that the Lord Jesus reigns and all power is given to HIM and He wants to publish HIS peace and salvation within me if I would only repent and accept His saving work on the cross for me! I'm so grateful for those tried and truetiful feet who tirelessly showed Jesus to me!
There are feet that skip and play
There are feet that run away
There are feet that love a race and win or lose
There are chubby feet and small
And strong feet to kick a ball
But beautiful are the feet that bring good news.
There are feet that sleekly swim
Through the water wearing fins
There are feet that shimmy up the tallest trees
There are happy feet and sad
There are aching feet and mad
But beautiful are the feet that publish peace.
Those are beautiful feet
Beee-uuu-ti-ful feet!
Dutiful, cute-i-ful feet!
Tried and true-ti-ful feet
Me-ti-ful
You-ti-ful
Do you have beautiful feet!
Do you have beautiful feet!
Feet climb mountains, feet climb stairs
Some wear shoes, and some go bare!
There are feet of every shape and every size
But when feet run with the news
Jesus loves me and loves you
Then no matter what they look like - realize…
Beautiful feet
Beautiful feet
Beautiful, beautiful feet!
Tried and true-ti-ful feet
Me-ti-ful
You-ti-ful
Do you have beauti-i-ful feet
(Walkin’ with my Jesus down a one way street - with my beautiful, beautiful feet.)
Rom 10:15b
How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
