What a mess. There's nothing like working in a pole barn, set up for cattle, to make one thankful for the concept of boots.
Every farmer knows the value of protection.
So also should the Christian. After all, Satan is constantly flinging his dung at us, or leaving little piles in our path. How foolish we would be not to have our boots always at the ready while living and working in his domain. And, thankfully, the Lord has provided for us boots equal to the occasion. The gospel of grace, adorns our feet, giving us the firm footing needed to keep us from slipping and sliding our way through life.
