Feet Fitted

As I was dressing myself this morning in the Lord’s armor I was expanding on each piece I applied; as I got to “my feet fitted with the gospel of peace” I was given a glimpse of the fabled character Johnny Appleseed. We all know the story of the young man who traveled the countryside leaving apple seeds behind him as he went! Look at all the apple trees and apples, just imagine what a positive uplifting directional word here or there could do!

With my feet, I walk toward the Father, seeking his word: his ways, his deliverance, his direction, and his plan.

Micah 6:8 ESV “He has told you O man, what is good, and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?”

Proverbs 3:5-6 ESV “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.”

Psalm 119:105 ESV “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”

With my feet, I walk beside God.

Psalm 32:8 ESV “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you.”

Proverbs 16:9 ESV “The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.”

Psalm 25:9 ESV “He leads the humble in what is right, and teaches the humble his way.”

Psalm 37:22 ESV “The steps of a man are established by the Lord, when he delights in his way.”

Psalm 31:3 ESV “For you are my rock and my fortress, and for your names same you lead me and guide me.”

My feet walk the byways of my life, sharing God’s testimony of love and mercy with those He puts in my path.

Luke 8:39 ESV “Return to your home, and declare how much God has done for you.’ and he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole city how much Jesus had done for him.”

As you can imagine there are many scriptures that speak of our testimonials but this one verse to me, pretty much sums it up and fits perfectly with my picture of Johnny Appleseed.

“Proclaiming throughout the whole city how much Jesus had done for him.”

We don’t need to be Bible scholars, knowing every verse and its address within. We don’t have to have a degree in the wall, longevity in a church, or all the answers.

We just simply need to share our stories of God’s loving, gracious, and protective hand in our lives.

Be blessed, share a few of your blessings, and possibly have the opportunity to be one. ☺️❤️☀️
