Judges 6:1-40; Isaiah 27:1-13; 1 Corinthians 6:1-20
How beautiful are thy feet with [sandals], O prince’s daughter! Song of Solomon 7:1
The spouse considered his beloved’s beauty enhanced with sandals on her feet. But that was the beauty of the flesh, which many pay much attention to these days. When Moses appeared before the Holy God, he was told, “Draw not nigh…put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground” (Ex. 3:5). Christians coming into the presence of God today should draw a line between fleshly beauty that attracts attention to themselves and the reverential piety that a holy God demands. Flesh and holiness cannot come together (Gal. 5:16). —K. C. Ung
How beautiful His feet appear, high on the mountain tops, who brings,
Glad tidings of salvation near, salvation from the King of kings! —Charles Wesley
