God can strengthen you so that your foot will not slip in your trials and tribulations.
A hind, a red female deer, is the most sure-footed mountain animal. Hind’s feet are skinny, but remember God reveals His strength through the weak and through difficult situations. The hind is able to effortlessly move through mountainous terrain without stumbling.
God makes our feet like the feet of a hind. God equips us to overcome adversity and different roadblocks that we might come across. When Christ is your strength you have all that you need on your journey. Though the situation may seem rocky the Lord will equip you and teach you so that you don’t stumble and you press on with consistency on your walk of faith.

How often do you use your feet to witness to others?
How dedicated are you in spreading the gospel of Jesus? God has given us different features, talents, and abilities so we can glorify Him with them. God has given us finances so we can give. God has given us breath so we can breathe for His glory and praise His name.
God has given us feet not only so we can walk around and do what we want to do. He has given us feet so we can proclaim the gospel. How are you bringing the gospel message to those around you?
Fear should never stop your feet from moving in the direction of the lost. There are going to be people who God puts in your life who will only hear the gospel from you. Speak up! God walks with you so never let fear hinder you.

And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”
Although our feet can be used for good often people use it for evil.
Does your feet run in the direction of sin or the opposite direction? Are you putting yourself in a position to compromise and sin? Are you constantly around the feet of the wicked? If so, remove yourself. Walk in the direction of Christ. Wherever sin and temptation is, God is in the opposite direction.

God’s Word gives light to your feet so you can walk in the ways of the Lord.
We all have feet, but if you are without light you won’t get very far. God has provided us with the light of His Word. Rarely do we talk about the preciousness of the Word of God. God’s Word should dwell richly in us. His Word guides us so we can remain on the path of righteousness.
His Word aids us in identifying things that will hinder our walk with the Lord. Examine yourself. Is the light of Christ guiding your feet or are you living in rebellion? If so repent and fall upon Christ. Those who trust in Christ for salvation will themselves be a light because they are in Christ who is the source of light.
16. Psalm 119:105 Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.
17. Proverbs 4:26-27 Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways. Do not turn to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil.
Are you willing to wash the feet of others?
As believers, we are to emulate Christ. When the Son of God washes the feet of another you take notice. The humility of Christ shows that God is real and the Bible is true. If Scripture was inspired by man, the God of this universe would never wash the feet of man.
He would never come to this world in such a humble way. We are to imitate the humility of Christ. Jesus never allowed His status to affect the way He served others. Don’t you understand that He’s God in the flesh?
He’s the King of the World but He put others before Himself. We all struggle with this. We must pray daily that God works humility in us. Are you willing to serve others? Those with the heart of a servant shall be blessed.
18. John 13:14-15 Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you.
