Beautiful Feet

I named this blog Pulchri Pedes (Latin for beautiful feet) for a reason, and not because other dancers have told me that I have beautiful feet.  It comes from Isaiah 52:7, which says, "How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of happiness, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, 'Your God reigns.'" When I went on a Journey in May, this passage of Scripture really stood out to me.  I realized then that I need to be someone who brings the good news to others.  This was then doubly confirmed to me when I read Isaiah 61:1-3, as well as the place in Luke where Jesus quotes the passage (entirely by accident).
¹The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me,
   because the LORD has anointed me
to bring good news to the poor;
   he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captives,
   and the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
²to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor,
   and the day of vengeance of our God;
   to comfort all who mourn;
³to grant to those who mourn in Zion—
   to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes,
the oil of gladness instead of mourning,
   the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit;
 that they may be called oaks of righteousness,
   the planting of the LORD, that he may be glorified.

It has become my goal to embody these passages, so every time I write on this blog, I hope to be bringing good news and encouragement to those who read it.
