Welcome back to our series on your spiritual weapons. Previously, we’ve looked at the breastplate of righteous, and the belt of truth, and now today we will be looking at the shoes of peace, in Ephesians 6:15.
I must admit, reading this as a young child I always thought it was funny that shoes were mentioned here. I would always scuff and wear holes in my shoes, but it wasn’t until I was hurt by scorching hot pavement when I was barefoot, that I started to take footwear more seriously. And as we’ll see, this is the point of verse 15.
Just as physical shoes protect our feet when we walk on physical terrain, these spiritual shoes protect our “spiritual walk” in daily life, against rough and hazardous terrain.
