“How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news of good things!”
—Romans 10:15, NASB
This image does not merely show bare feet on scorched earth. It proclaims a holy invitation—a call to surrender all and follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These are not the feet of the comfortable. They are the feet of the commissioned, marked by dust, by obedience, and by the presence of Yeshua.
Our God stepped into flesh. Yeshua walked among us, not as a king on polished marble, but as a servant on dusty roads. The King of Glory stooped to wash feet, not to be honored, but to show us that only those who bend low will walk high in the Spirit. “If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.” —John 13:14, NASB
And then He said, “Follow Me.”
To follow Yeshua is to walk with nothing in our hands but His name. It is to live with hearts wholly emptied of pride and feet wholly yielded to His leading. The Gospel demands not partial loyalty, but full abandonment. “Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple.” —Luke 14:27, NASB
A.W. Tozer once wrote, “The only safe place for a sheep is by the side of his shepherd, because the devil does not fear sheep; he just fears the Shepherd.” That is why we walk. Not to prove ourselves, but to stay near the Shepherd. We are safe only when we are close to Him.
These feet—yours and mine—were made to carry the fire of Heaven into the wilderness of this world. But not by might, not by strategy. Only by the Holy Spirit. The apostles were not told to plan, but to wait. And when the fire fell, they walked—into danger, into persecution, into glory.
“Take nothing for your journey…” —Luke 9:3, NASB
Why? Because God alone must be our portion. Anything we carry in our strength becomes a hindrance. We are not called to carry baggage—we are called to carry the Gospel.
Do not be deceived by comfort. The road of Christ is not wide or easy. But it is holy. And He walks it first.
“Where I am, there My servant will be also.” —John 12:26, NASB
Let us walk then, not as wanderers but as witnesses. Let the dust cling to our feet as a sign of our consecration. Let every step cry out: “Not my will, but Yours be done.” For our lives are not our own—we were bought with a price. Our steps are not our own—they were ordered by the King.
This is the walk of the crucified. This is the path of the pure. This is the journey of the remnant who live by the Spirit alone.
Closing Prayer
Lord Yeshua, we abandon every comfort and every claim. We take off the sandals of pride and place our feet into the dust where You walked. Lead us where You will. Be our only strength. Be our only aim. We trust in nothing but You. Teach us to walk by the Spirit, with eyes fixed on Your glory and hearts completely Yours. Amen.
