Romans 10
Pastor Jeff Allen
Picture this: You’re standing next to a four-year-old child when you turn and ask, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” An astronaut, ballerina, baseball player or rock star are some possible answers. However, to your surprise you hear, “When I grow up, I want to be a foot model!”
“Did I hear that right? A what? A foot model?” How fantastically peculiar!
Why would I think that’s so wonderful?
Romans 10:15 tells us, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!" It’s incredible that God would specifically point out the feet of those that speak of His plan for redemption. In the days when people had no cars, buses, planes, motorcycles or any other form of modern transportation, people walked everywhere. They didn’t have the arch-supporting, air-cushioned state-of-the-art sneakers that are available to us today. Instead, they wore sandals. After a while, their feet would become blistered, calloused, dirty and…you get the point.
Yet God considers those feet beautiful because of sharing the gospel.
You’ve probably never looked at your feet and thought,”I want to be a foot model.” Yet I would ask you to consider: do you have beautiful feet? Do you want them? I hope and pray that my feet are beautiful. When I grow up, I want to be a foot model. How about you?
Did you know? A great vacation for Pastor Jeff would be a combination of Disney World and the Rocky Mountains. He loves having fun with his family and connecting with God in different ways.
