A thought I had a while back regarding the passage about Jesus washing the feet of His disciples in the upper room (see John 13:1-17) and His interaction with Peter at that time. In that conversation Jesus tells Peter "Unless I wash you, you will have no part of me" and after Peter very enthusiastically asked for a not just a foot wash but a bath - "A person who has had a bath needs only to wash his feet; his whole body is clean."

My thought is this - Is our walk with Christ pretty much like this? In the sense that, does the fact that we are in this world means that our "feet" will inevitably pick up quite a bit of dirt as we walk through life, so that even though we have been bathed (saved and justified by Christ's death and ressurection) we will still need to constantly have our feet washed clean of the detritus of sin that we pick up constantly?

So ... do your feet need a wash? Do mine?

Just a thought. Feel free to leave yours in the comments section :-)
