BEAUTIFUL FEET

READ:
Romans 10:14-18
___________________________

Recently, I met the man who introduced me to Jesus 35 years ago. Warren Wiersbe, former pastor of Moody Church in Chicago and Bible teacher for the Back to the Bible ministry, had preached the gospel at a Bible conference in 1972. It was the first time I heard the good news of God's love for me as shown in Jesus' death on the cross. The Spirit opened my eyes and heart that night, and I received Jesus Christ as my Savior (John 1:12).

We praise the Lord for people like Warren Wiersbe who faithfully preach the gospen and introduce others to Christ. According to the apostle Paul, they have beautiful feet: "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!" (Rom 10:15).

But spreading the gospel isn't just the responsibility of Bible teachers and pastors. All who know Jesus can share on a personal level with friends, co-workers, family members, and strangers. It's our privilege and duty. Otherwise, how will people "Believe in Him of whom they have not heard?" (v.14).

Let's make our feet beautiful by bringing the good news of Jesus to others. __Anne Cetas

How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet
of him who brings good news! __Isaiah 52:7

*************Today's Bible Reading __ Romans 10:14-18***********

14 How then shall they
call on Him in whom they
have not believed? And how
shall they believe in Him of
whom they have not heard?
And how shall they hear
without a preacher?
15 And how shall they
preach unless they are
sent? As it is written: "How
beautiful are the feet of
those who preach the gospel
of peace, who bring glad
tidings of good things!"

16 But they have not all
obeyed the gospel. For
Isaiah says, "LORD, who
has believed our report?"
17 So then faith comes by
hearing, and hearing by the
word of God. 18 But I say,
have they not heard? Yes
indeed:
"Their sound has gone out
to all the earth, and their
words to the ends of the
world."

Today's Bible reading is in the heart of one of the most fascinating
passages in the New Testament. Romans 9-11 takes us into the mind
of the sovereign God and how He accomplishes His purposes among
men. Much of it has been the root of debate among theologians, but
one thing is certain: His purposes are beyond our grasp, requiring
us to trust Him in all He does. To that end, Paul ends these chapters
with helpful words: "Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom
and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgements and
His ways past finding out! 'For who has known the mind of the
LORD? Or who has become His counselor?'" (Rom. 11:33-34). __WEC

Isaiah 52: 6-12
Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in [b]that[/b] day that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I.
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!
Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the Lord shall bring again Zion.
Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem: for the Lord hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem.
The Lord hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.
Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the Lord.
For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for the Lord will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rereward (the gathering of a host / Theological Wordbook of The Old Testament, also in Psalm 27:10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up.)

The Word of God is just too good. Wooooooohooooooo!
