As you step out today, here’s a reminder of God’s word to you from Matthew 5:13 [The Message ]
“Let me tell you why you are here. You’re here to be salt-seasoning that brings out the God-flavors of this earth. If you lose your saltiness, how will people taste godliness? You’ve lost your usefulness and will end up in the garbage.”
Today’s bible verse is very significant as it reminds you and me as believers of who we are in Christ but most importantly admonishes us NOT TO LOSE OUR SALTINESS!
Christ reminds us through this scripture of our essence and of what makes us uniquely different as believers. He reminds us also as believers that we carry within us the life-giving power that has the capacity to transform the lives of those we come in contact with on a daily.
Jesus makes this comparison between us and salt to make us understand that we carry within us dynamic power so that we can focus on being intentional about the way we live our lives.
Christ tells us we are here on earth to be as a salt-seasoning that brings out the God-flavors of this earth. – Hallelujah! isn’t it awesome to know that we are change agents and that we carry such life-transforming power within us that change the lives of those around us positively!
Salt is a chemical compound that has many uses both commercially and physically as it relates to human consumption.
It is also a great seasoning and preservative when it comes to preparation and preservation of food especially for a longer period of time.
However, Salt no longer has any usefulness, or purpose when it can no longer add taste to meals or preserve food items.
Therefore, as you go about your daily business and activities today, never forget to remind yourself that you are Salt so that people can experience God’s love and goodness through you and ultimately taste and see godliness.
Remember, God wants to spread his amazing love and grace through us to others because we are his hands and feet. He has, therefore, placed you where you are currently to help bring life, hope, and blessings to those around you through all the gifts and special abilities He has put inside of you.
So maintain your saltiness by staying in God’s word and seeking after Christ in all you do.
Live each day mindful not to lose your saltiness because as Jesus said “If you lose your saltiness, how will people taste godliness? You’ve lost your usefulness and will end up in the garbage.”
I pray that neither you or I will lose our saltiness in Jesus name, Amen.
Do have a blessed and fruitful day!
God bless you.
