The Feet

Isaiah 52:7
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!

Mosiah 15:14-18
And these are they who have published peace, who have brought good tidings of good, who have published salvation; and said unto Zion: Thy God reigneth!
And O how beautiful upon the mountains were their feet!
And again, how beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of those that are still publishing peace!
And again, how beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of those who shall hereafter publish peace, yea, form this time henceforth and forever!
And behold, I say unto you, this is not all. For O how beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that  is the founder of peace, yea, even the Lord, who has redeemed his people; yea, him who has granted salvation unto his people;

Today in Sunday school we talked about these verses and their possible meanings.

1. The feet could be considered the 'dirtiest' part of our body because they are in the most contact with the dirt of the earth, and its hard to not have some trace of the world left on you if you must walk on the earth, yet, if the dirtiest part of our body is considered beautiful.....how exceptionally stunning is the rest of our body? We in our entirety are precious to the lord.

2. We only get where we are because our feet have taken us there. Going forwards or backwards or staying put, our feet have carried us to the point of our lives we're in now, and they'll continue to carry us where we direct them to go.

3. In the ancient days before technology was so rampant messengers were used to carry news in between towns. Good or bad, yet when glad tidings were brought the messenger was hailed whole heartedly because they published peace, and the teachings of the prophets, or the leaders of the country.

Sooo feet are important basically. :) They help us get to where we're going and take us from where we left.
:) lol. will we allow our feet to carry us down the road of peace? Bringing those we meet along the road of life comfort and good tidings as we pass them on the way? Direct your feet upon a goodly path and don't be afraid to tread the path less traveled by. If it brings you happiness, joy and peace in your life, if you share it, it can bring happiness, joy and peace towards others. This path will be a goodly path to tread upon :) 

Until you next read these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!
