The term "feeble-footed" is not directly found in the Bible; however, it can be understood as a metaphorical expression describing individuals who are weak or lacking in strength, particularly in their ability to walk or stand firm. This concept can be related to various biblical themes and narratives that address physical weakness, spiritual frailty, and the need for divine support and healing.

Biblical Context and Themes

1. Physical Weakness and Healing: The Bible often addresses physical infirmities and the miraculous healings performed by God or through His servants. In the New Testament, Jesus Christ is frequently depicted healing those who are physically impaired, including the lame. For instance, in Matthew 15:30-31 , it is written: "Large crowds came to Him, bringing the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute, and many others, and laid them at His feet; and He healed them. The crowd was amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled restored, the lame walking, and the blind seeing. And they glorified the God of Israel."

2. Spiritual Weakness and Restoration: The concept of being "feeble-footed" can also symbolize spiritual weakness or a lack of steadfastness in one's faith journey. The Bible encourages believers to seek strength from God to overcome spiritual frailties. Isaiah 35:3-6 provides a prophetic vision of restoration: "Strengthen the limp hands and steady the feeble knees. Say to those with anxious hearts, 'Be strong, do not fear! Behold, your God will come with vengeance. With divine retribution He will come to save you.' Then the eyes of the blind will be opened and the ears of the deaf unstopped. Then the lame will leap like a deer, and the mute tongue will shout for joy."

3. Dependence on God: The acknowledgment of human weakness and the need for divine assistance is a recurring theme in Scripture. The Apostle Paul, in 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 , speaks of his own weaknesses and the sufficiency of God's grace: "But He said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest on me. That is why, for the sake of Christ, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong."

4. Encouragement to the Weak: The Bible provides encouragement to those who feel weak or feeble, urging them to rely on God's strength. Hebrews 12:12-13 exhorts believers: "Therefore strengthen your limp hands and weak knees. Make straight paths for your feet, so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed."

Conclusion

While the term "feeble-footed" is not explicitly used in the Bible, the concept is richly woven into the biblical narrative through themes of physical and spiritual weakness, divine healing, and the transformative power of God's strength. Believers are encouraged to find their strength in the Lord, who is able to restore and uphold them in times of weakness.
