People spend a small fortune on shoes every year. A number of girls have large shoe collections, and now boys are following suit. Everyone has at least one exceptional pair of shoes, whether they are trendy emo skate shoes or classic dress shoes.
Would people view footwear differently if they were told that God considers their feet to be beautiful? It's a fact. Regardless of size, color, or shape, your feet are incredibly beautiful in God's eyes if you have an open heart and a willingness to share the gospel with those around you.
To find some good insight into what God thinks of our feet, read Isaiah 52:7. The exultation, repeated in Romans 10:15, proclaims, "How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, ‘Your God reigns!’" As you notice in the scripture, if you are not scared to tell other people about your faith, then your feet can be beautiful too.
What is the reason God makes a reference to our feet? Wouldn’t God rather talk of our hands or faces? There are many places in Scriptures where God mentions feet. Psalm 119:105 is one such passage, stating that God’s word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our paths. So, if we use the Bible to guide and tell us where to put our feet, they should always be standing and walking in his light. Therefore our feet will always be a pretty sight.
Having knowledge of this idea, some people have taken it to a higher level by wearing Christian footwear. This kind of footwear shows that your feet can be pretty when they represent God, as in the song "Hands and Feet" by Audio Adrenaline. Now you can buy Christian shoes designed with scriptures and Bible phrases on them. For those wishing to openly acknowledge their faith, walk in the light, and have beautiful feet, this brand of designer footwear is perfect. In addition, these shoes are available in a great many styles and sizes to meet the needs and styles of each individual.
While having beautiful feet does not require Christian footwear, they certainly help in spreading the message. So, when you talk with your friends about faith or discuss going to church with coworkers at the office, recall how God feels about your feet: they are beautiful.
And there is no need to be worried about how others view you. God says "He will not let your foot be moved" (Psalm 121:3) if you stand next to him.
