“Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.” Psalms 119:105

“How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good things!” Romans 10:15 More than 250 references

“My son, if sinners entice you, Do not consent.” Proverbs 1:10 Give in to persuasion “For their feet run to evil, And they make haste to shed blood.” Proverbs 1:16

“Her feet go down to death, Her steps lay hold of hell.” Proverbs 5:5 Immoral Woman

“A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that are swift in running to evil,” Proverbs 6:18 Meditation of our heart Psalms 1:1-2 “meditates day and night” Our feet take us where our mind leads

“For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ.” 1 Cor.12:12 “I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made” Psalms 139:14

If the foot should say, "Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body," is it therefore not of the body?.” 1 Cor.12:15

People in the church are like the feet  They do the work  The head may do the planning  But the feet are involved in serving  The head cannot say to the feet “I do not need you”

People in the church are like the feet  May think “I am not important”  Not the head - not a leader  Not a teacher “But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body just as He pleased.” 1Cor.12:18

“And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;” Eph. 6:15  The Christian life is like a battle  Struggle - not easy  Fight the good fight of faith  Never surrender to evil forces

“And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;” Eph. 6:15  Combat boots  Gospel  Power of God to change lives  Prepared - ready

“Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.” Psalms 119:105

1. Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; 2. But his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night. Ps.1:1-2

 Walks in the narrow way  Understands every member is valuable  Refuses to follow footsteps of the evil “..make straight paths for your feet,…” Hebrews 12:13
