How many times have you read the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5? I've lost count. And yet this morning the Holy Spirit showed me the need to
be salty for Christ's glory! Consider salt for a moment. Salt rubs off
on whatever it touches. And once something has been "salted" it's nearly
impossible to get rid of the effect of the salt! I realize Jesus is
teaching us about the importance of remaining salty in Him. Losing our
saltiness makes us worthless to His Kingdom. On the other hand, getting
"out there" and rubbing up against those who do not yet know Him (as
well as those who have lost some of their zeal/saltiness), His Love is
passed along and His Presence made known. Once rubbed against the
saltiness of His Presence and Love, it is nearly impossible to ignore
Him! And, of course, the saltier we become, the more persecution we
will face. It is enough to know that we are that well-seasoned for
our Lord that Satan finds us a threat. Hallelujah! ! And don't forget
where the saltiness came from in the first place! Any success we may
have in rubbing off on others belongs to the Lord!
It's a very good thing to be Salty for His Glory! Hallelujah and Amen.
