Theme: Guarding your progress (part 17)

Anchor Text: Nehemiah 4:11-23

Subtext: Ephesians 6:13-18

Continued from the last post on this series

Ephesians 6:15 For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared.

Shoes of the Gospel of Peace

It is said that 'good shoes take you good places'.

Our feet are our physical instrument for locomotion. Therefore, the feet must be comfortable enough to take us through the journey that will ensure we arrive at a pleasant destination.

Hence, shoes are important. The shoe that will take you far must both be comfortable and appropriate for the occasion.

A slipper might be comfortable but it might not be appropriate for a formal occasion. Wearing such a footwear to such an occasion will register a negative effect in the mind of others concerning you.

For the Roman soldiers who were Paul's reference, shoes were very important for them as well. They needed to walk for long distances through difficult terrains.

While in combat, it was necessary that their footwear was capable of providing them with enough balance.

The shoe (the caligae) they wore was designed and tailored to suit the occasion.

Paul extending this to a believer's armour stated that we also must wear a particular type of shoe.

This shoe is that of peace which the Good News brings.

Of what significance is peace as it relates to the theme of this series?

We'll begin exploring that from tomorrow by God's Grace.

Stay Graced...
