Chapter 4 - Feet Shod With the Preparation of the Gospel

Click here to watch this video on Youtube

We’re stepping forward in our armor of God study, and this week we find ourselves at the feet—our feet shod with the Gospel of Peace. Often overlooked, our feet carry the full weight of our body, and spiritually speaking, they anchor us in our faith.

Our foundational verse for this chapter is Ephesians 6:15 (NIV): “and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.” In a world that’s ever-shifting, knowing what we believe and why we believe it is crucial.

Adversity has a way of revealing the foundation on which we stand. When we face life’s storms, our footing is tested. It’s akin to saying, ‘A tree deeply anchored in soil has no fear of the wind.’ In the same way, when the winds of adversity blow through our lives, we have two options: we can either be swept off our feet or stand unwavering, anchored in the eternal truth of the Gospel.

So what does it mean to have our feet shod in the Gospel of Peace? It means we’re not just hearers of the Word; we’re doers. We’re not just informed; we’re transformed. And that transformation makes us immovable in times of trial.

Standing firm isn’t just about stubbornness or resilience. It’s about truly knowing what we know—so deeply that we can’t be swayed. Adversity, instead of weakening us, actually fortifies our stance. It’s life’s way of offering us a choice: to falter or to fortify.

Standing firm in our faith isn’t just a matter of stubbornness or resilience. It’s about having a deep, unshakeable knowledge of what we believe, so rooted in us that adversity doesn’t weaken us; it fortifies our stance. When we embrace this grounding force, we deepen our roots in the eternal truth of the Gospel.

This Week’s Challenge

This week, let’s focus on grounding ourselves in the Gospel of Peace. Each morning, take a few moments to reflect on a foundational truth from the Bible that gives you peace. Write it down, carry it with you, and when you find yourself shaken or confronted by adversity, remember to stand firm on that truth. Each time you choose to stand rather than stumble, you’re reinforcing your spiritual foundation.
