Proverbs 6:13 KJV
He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;
I wonder what our feet say?
The feet may speak either positive or negative things
Gill says of the feet, "the motions of the feet have a language; the stamping of the feet expresses rage."
This passage deals with the feet speaking wicked things. However Romans 10:15 KJV says,
....How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
The implication is that this is active position, not passive.By use of the foot, the Bible is implying going somewhere. The feet will be busy. They will be going where others are. Whether they are being used to conduct naughtiness or to preach the gospel, they will not be idle.
The suggestion of the text is that this involves thought
The following verse in Pro 6 says, "he deviseth mischief continually." This is something he works at. His mind dwells on what sort of mischief he will get into.
The same can be said of the feet that preach the gospel of peace. This isn't something that will happen accidentally or without forethought. This will be planned. this will be intentional.
Let us see that our feet speak the gospel.
