“Offer yourselves to God…and offer the parts of your body to him as instruments of righteousness” (Romans 6:13). 

Some people are drawn to God by what they see in the beauty, order and majesty of His creation. This is part of the proclamation God uses to confront people with their need to humbly bow, worship and depend upon Him. Others are uniquely drawn to God without even seeking for Him. 
 
In a special way God takes these preparatory steps to prepare people for when they hear the truth through clear, persuasive proclamation. Listen to Paul’s argument in Romans 10:14-15, “How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can they preach unless they are sent?” Then he quotes Isaiah 52:7. “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” 
 
Why God chose mere humans to be the primary proclaimers of the truth I don’t know, but it is clear that He has. 
 
In Romans 6 we saw that we are to yield ourselves fully to God. Yes, every part of our body is to be yielded to Him for Him to use as He sees fit. To proclaim the truth we need to surrender our voices to Him. But, in order to proclaim the truth to those God wants us to reach our feet need to take us to them. So our feet must be yielded to God. As He prompts us to go our feet become beautiful vehicles in the hands of God to get us to the place He wants us to go to proclaim the truth. 
 
There are no short cuts. It takes effort. It often takes sacrifice. It demands time. But when God’s people are available and obedient He can and will bring the lost to faith and salvation.
 
Are you and all of your body members committed to God for Him to use as He sees fit to reach the lost with the good news of Jesus Christ?
