All body parts are pointed out in the first five things that God hates- Eyes, Tongue, Hand, Heart and now Feet –We can sense the progression to evil has a high-speed mechanism that the feet ‘rush’ into evil / mischief.
Mischief means "naughtiness" or "misbehaviour." It is an act that can cause harm or annoyance that causes damage, or injury to a specific person at the end of a trick. The mischievous man is a highly dangerous anti-social element in the society. The wickedness embedded in his mind pushes him to run to complete the task.
Their feet adopts to swift running, because they are afraid of losing time or are impatient of delay and they are so eager to commit such a mischief This strategy,vigilance,caution,enthusiasm and alertness, in their sinful pursuits shows, that they are so strongly motivated and encouraged to do evil.
This is the typical character and manners of a person, who runs to commit such an evil act can be such as stated in the Holy Bible:
“Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit.
The poison of vipers is on their lips.
Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.
Their feet are swift to shed blood; ruin and misery mark their ways,
and the way of peace they do not know.
There is no fear of God before their eyes. (Romans 3:13-18).
The normal pace of walking is not enough for them and they are not satisfied with the usual speed of a man. It simply displays that they show no resistance or disagreement whatever, to sin.
This is definitely a devil’s work because he. “Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour”. (1 Peter 5:7). “Resist the devil and he will flee from you”. (James 4:7) “..and do not give the devil a foothold.” (Ephesians 4:26). “Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.”(Ephesians 6:11)
God hates this mischief and likes a beautiful feet that runs to do good to others.
“How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”Romans 10:15?
“The Sovereign LORD is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to tread on the heights.” (Habakkuk 3:19)
Take time to sit at the Lord’s feet every day, wait for His word and He will meet all your need.
STOP… THINK… and DO NOT BE QUICK for ACTION” . Be still and composed, least we make the mistakes that will get us into trouble. Always you have to….
“ encourage the young men to be self-controlled….. by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed “ (Titus 2:6 )
Always remember, Bible tells us “Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path”. (Psalm 119:105)
“For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. You will tread on the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent”(Psalm 91:11-13)
whatever the evil plan ( as the poison of snakes) and new devises( like a hunting lion) all the wicked sketches, will not touch you. Because......
“Blessed are those whose ways are blameless,
who walk according to the law of the LORD.
Blessed are those who keep his statutes
and seek him with all their heart— they do no wrong
but follow his ways.” (Psalm 119 :1-2)
who walk according to the law of the LORD.
Blessed are those who keep his statutes
and seek him with all their heart— they do no wrong
but follow his ways.” (Psalm 119 :1-2)
