Daily Scripture Threshing for Tuesday, September 14, 2021
Today’s Text: Ephesians 6:13-17
Key Verse: Ephesians 6:15 (NIV): “And with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.”

The metaphor of shoe is an amazing description of the protection promised to all believers who make themselves witnesses to the power of God unto salvation. Their feet are beautiful. They are protected from dashing them against the stones. While many are intimidated and afraid when it comes to preaching the gospel. We do not need to be afraid. The one who calls us can keep us until His appearance in glory. He gives His angels charge over us so that we do not dash our feet against the stones.
The Gospel we preach is of peace. We cannot, therefore, be bereft of the peace. We have peace with God through our Lord as we walk in full submission to His will. We have peace within: we are not afraid of what men could do to us. For our conscience is clear, our fears are taken away, and our desires are heavenly.
Therefore, our feet are shod with the readiness that comes with the gospel of peace. We are constantly ready. We need no motivation. Our shoes are always on. Our feet are always shod. That's how ready we are. It comes with the gospel. Such shoes are old-fashioned and old time, but they never wear out. They are ever new.
Through the gospel, we declare “peace on earth, goodwill towards men.” Aside from Jesus, the whole world is at war. Indeed, man is at war with his own very self. The battle rages daily and moment by moment, and people need the firm assurance of God’s love and peace. No doubt, we need our feet shod! We need onward readiness that comes from and with the good news of Christ that gives peace.
Quote for the Day: “The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the one quickening power that brings humanity into harmony with self, with his world, and with God.” (Simon Olatunji)
Prayer: Dear Lord, I receive the courage to be ever ready to preach the gospel of peace. Please strengthen me by Your Holy Spirit, and empower me to do exploits for You Lord, in Jesus' name. Amen
