✨ 10 Toes Down

A Blog by iPublishub-Books

⭐ 1 Corinthians 15:58 (KJV)

“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.”

I love when God wakes me up early in the morning and whispers a blog topic to my heart. Writing for iPublishub-Books not only challenges me to operate in my gift — it challenges me to trust His voice, to hear what’s NEXT. To trust His leading. To believe Him at His word. To write down what’s on His heart for His people.

God is such a loving Father. He cares deeply for us. And through these writings, I can see He wants that love to be known in a deeper way. I love that about God — because His love isn’t only shown through His written Word. His love is seen in everyday life:

✨ In someone’s kindness

✨ In someone’s compassion

✨ In someone’s sacrificial love

✨ In someone who may not pick up a Bible, but may read a blog

✨ Or better yet, see Christ through YOU

“The Love of God Shed Abroad in Our Hearts”

Romans 5:5 (KJV) says:

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.”

This verse tells us that God’s love is poured, released, and spread throughout our hearts by the Holy Ghost.

So when the world sees the hope of Christ in us — when we are NOT ashamed of Him — the love of God is displayed through our actions, our character, and our presence.

Why 10 Toes Down?

This phrase is popular. I hear it among young people, friends, co-workers, and even scrolling online. And the Holy Spirit said, “Let’s use that today.”

“Ten toes down” means:

👉 I’m standing firm

👉 I’m committed

👉 I’m not backing up

👉 I’m rooted and present

It’s a picture of someone planting their feet — all ten toes — on solid ground, unshakeable, steady, loyal.

Now spiritually, this is powerful:

✨ “I’m standing 10 toes down in the Word.”

✨ “My faith is unmovable.”

✨ “I’m rooted in Christ no matter what.”

✨ “I’m solid in what God told me.”

And God Himself gives us the greatest example.

God Is 10 Toes Down About YOU

Romans 8:38–39 tells us:

Nothing can separate us from God’s love.

Not life. Not death.

Not angels. Not demons.

Not fear. Not trials.

Not what you’re facing today.

Not what’s coming tomorrow.

This means:

– God is committed to you.

– God is loyal to you.

– God is 10 toes down about you.

– His love does not move, shift, or waver.

He is planted. Rooted. Firm.

And because His love is unmovable, you can stand 10 toes down in Him — confident, secure, fearless, and fully grounded.

👉 God stands firmly with you…

so you can stand firmly in Him.
