Light Up Feet

Sandy bought all the grandkid light up shoes as a birthday gift

She had all our kids buy light up shoes as well 

She wanted me to get a pair, I said, NO! but she was determined

Sandy planned a family trip to the Cascades Falls in Jackson, Michigan

The cascades are a man-made waterfall

And at night it lights up with lights and music

All 14 of us were to wear the light up shoes

Everyone was excited about wearing them, but me

I am so glad the family talked me into wearing the light up shoes

I had so much fun, the family had so much fun and the crowd had so much fun

Many in the crowd wanted to know where they could get the light up shoes

For you and I to have the Word as a Light unto our feet it will take commitment

Not only to the Word of the Lord

But commitment to enjoy the Light of God’s Word

You will be noticed

People will look, they will point

And many will say where can I get the Light unto my feet

Light Up Feet

 

One Sunday at church a teenage girl

 came to church with light up shoes.

They were flashing and could change color.

When Sandy saw those shoes

she fell in love with them.

When Sandy got home from church

she ordered a pair of light up shoes.

I was so embarrassed.

Whenever she would wear them,

everybody was looking at us, pointing at us,

and many asked where did you get those shoes?

Sandy bought all the grandkid

light up shoes as a birthday gift.

She also had all our adult kids buy light up shoes.

  

She wanted me to get a pair, I said NO!...

But she can be a determined lady.

Sandy planned a family trip to the

Cascades Falls in Jackson, Michigan.

The cascades are a man-made waterfall

 and at night it lights up with lights and music.

All 14 of us were to wear their light up shoes.

Everyone was excited about wearing them, but me.

But being out of town I was sure

no one would recognize me,

 so I put on a pair of light up shoes.

At night, we turned on the shoes

and went up and down the falls,

we danced with our shoes

flashing all different colors.

People were taking pictures of us.

We were the envy of everyone…

 

Because we were having so much fun.

Psalms 119:105 says…

Your word is a lamp to my feet

and a light for my path.

I think the Psalmist was like me.

To wear the light on our feet

 would take a commitment.

What would people think?

No one else wears lights on their feet.

It will make me stand out.

Everyone will stare at me.

The Psalmist said…

I have taken an oath and confirmed it,

that I will follow your righteous laws.

The Psalmist took an oath

to wear the Light unto our feet.

He was committed to walk

in the Light of God’s Word.

In verse 112, he says…

My heart is set on keeping

your decrees to the very end.

Not only did he make a commitment

to walk in the Light, but to enjoy it.

Accept, O LORD, the willing praise of my mouth,

and teach me your laws. V. 108

Your statutes are my heritage forever;

they are the joy of my heart. V. 111

I am so glad the family talked me

into wearing the light up shoes.

 I had so much fun,

the family had so much fun

 and the crowd had so much fun.

Many in the crowd wanted to know

where they could get the light up shoes.

For you and I to have the Word

as a Light unto our feet

it will take commitment.

Not only to the Word of the Lord

but commitment to enjoy

the Light of God’s Word.

You will be noticed.

People will look.

 They will point.

 And many will ask…

 Where can I get the Light unto my feet?
