And, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. Ephesians 6:15 (ESV)
With good, proper shoes
A soldier can march farther, travel faster, move with greater agility.
They are essential,
but often underappreciated.
Good shoes allow the soldier to stand firm
And engage the enemy with confidence,
knowing he won’t slip.
The gospel means we have peace with God.
We are no longer His enemy.
Instead, He has become our defender.
Think of that.
So we can be,
Should be,
Persevering, flexible,
Eager to reconcile other enemies.
Confident enough to stand firm.
Ready to fight.
How are your shoes?
