November 25 Isaiah 52:7
How beautiful on the mountains
are the feet of those who bring good news,
who proclaim peace,
who bring good tidings,
who proclaim salvation,
who say to Zion,
“Your God reigns!”

In the Bible, “beautiful feet” symbolizes the message and mission of those who spread the gospel. The term originates in Isaiah 52:7 and is echoed in Romans 10:15, where Paul writes, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” In ancient times, messengers would travel long distances by foot to deliver important news, especially about peace and salvation. By calling their feet “beautiful,” Scripture emphasizes the value and honor of their message.
The phrase celebrates the selfless act of spreading hope, truth, and God’s love to others. It’s not about the literal appearance of feet but about the mission they carry, showing that anyone who brings the “good news” is blessed and holds a special place in God’s plan.
In 1995 I was blessed to be able to travel from Charlotte North Carolina to the Philippines for a month long Missionary adventure. There were four of us under the leadership of The Rev. Phillip Weeks.
We were well received everywhere we traveled. We were given places to stay, good meals, an welcomed with large signs announcing our coming. It was a pleasure to bring the Good News of God’s, Love, Forgiveness, and Healing Power.
Going into prison is another place where I have been welcomed with honor. Just showing up gives the message that someone and God cares.
Have you ever had the joy to be somewhere in person with beautiful feet?
