The Armor of God, Feet, and Preparation
I\’ve been thinking a lot about feet lately. In a recent series of posts (especially this one), I connected Zion and the idea of being carried away by the Spirit. Part of that connection involves the concept of divine messengers (also known as angels) descending from on high to deliver the good news of the…
