Patience JohnsonI have lived long enough to see God make my enemies my footstool not even footsteps.
About This Quote
The quote is also known as the “tit for tat” quote because it is a pun on the phrase “footstool” meaning stepping-stone. The meaning of the quote is that God has turned our enemies into our footstools, or stepping stones. This means that, despite their position of power and strength, they become nothing compared to God. God allows our enemies to take advantage of us, but instead of allowing ourselves to be harmed, we should take advantage of them.
