“Exchanging Your High Heels for Comfort”
By Michelle Marthaler

 

It so easy to let the hardships of life gets us down, but we can decide to go against our fleshly feelings and be ready to walk in the things that the Lord has for us. In Romans 10:15, it reads, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news” (NIV). Are your feet bringing good news to those you are around? Are you encouraging and being a blessing to those you meet by spreading the good news of the Lord? This summer, I encourage you – as you step into that new pair of flats each day – to remind yourself to walk in peace, love, and joy!

Shoes! Yes, my weakness. Seldom can I walk by a shoe store without walking in and browsing to see if anything sticks out to me and is in my size. It’s funny how even though I have two closets full of shoes, I never feel like I can have enough of them. Just the other day, I opened a fortune cookie and read the following: “A new pair of shoes will do you a world of good.” Isn’t that the truth?! A new pair of shoes really can brighten your day. Each morning I love accenting my outfit with just the right pair of shoes.

This summer, try something that you never have before by dressing up your outfits with a nice pair of flats. It is the perfect way to be comfortable during the warm summer months while still maintaining a sense of style. Even though I have had a hard time adjusting to flats after wearing heels for so many years, flats have become my new favorite thing to wear when the work day is over and I am going out with some friends. There are so many styles and colors to choose from! Have some fun – Stop by your favorite shoe store and step out of the box with a new pair of flats!

Just as we accent our outfits with the right pair of shoes, we also need to accent ourselves with the right spiritual shoes so that we can bless and minister to those around us. In Ephesians 6:15, it lists that our feet are one of the pieces in the armor of God: “With your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace” (NIV). Just like we put on our shoes every morning before walking out the door, we need to start our day off right by choosing to put on peace and love so we may walk peacefully throughout our day.
