We wear some expensive shoes today, but they are of no value on holy ground.
The most expensive shoe brands have price tags that make your head turn, such as the Jimmy Choo Icons that sell for $3,785 a pair.
The Gucci leather boot is a meager $3,750 a pair.
The Lui Vuitton Manhatten men’s shoe sells for $10,000 a pair or the Stuart Weitzman Rita Hayward heels that sell for $3 million a pair.
If you really want to think rich, you can buy a pair of Harry Winston ruby slippers that contain 460 ruby pieces and 50 carats of diamonds. It tops the market at $3.1 million a pair.
So you thought your Nike, Adidas, and Red Bottoms were the in thing? You better get a bigger limit on your credit card.
No matter how much we pay for our shoes, clothes, or hairstyles, when we stand before God, we must humble ourselves before him. When we come before him, he’s not impressed with how much we paid for our shoes; after all, he holds the wealth of the world in his hands. He’s looking for hearts of gold, not shoes worth their weight in gold.
Exodus 3:5 says, "...draw not nigh hither; put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.
The price tag on our shoes or clothing might impress our friends, but what impresses God is our willingness to obey him.
Only a pure heart should stand before him on Holy Ground.
Over in the corner, your high price shoes lie right next to my dollar store knocks.
We are the same before God.
