Lord, You called me to make a difference in my world. We are to have an impact on those around us, as I live a changed life with a righteousness that is not of my own doing. So, help me understand the significance of being “the salt of the earth” (Matthew 5:13). When I chose to surrender my life to You and become a Christ-follower, did I also become a salt lick? Seriously, Lord, what do You mean I’m the salt of the earth? Considering the purpose of salt, Your meaning slowly emerged.
Salt adds flavor. Salt makes the bland come alive, the ho-hum to rousing, the another boring day into “What are You gonna do today, Lord?” The joy of redemption from sin and made alive in Jesus—this “salt”—is hard to contain. Our soul burst forth with a new zeal for life and a love for others we can’t explain as other than our regenerated spirit for our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.
May I become a saltshaker to those Your Holy Spirit sends my way.. Help me be relentless in telling my story with those searching for meaning and purpose. Your forgiveness and grace brought joy to my spiritually aimless life, Jesus, You can give them significance as Your child. Who says salt is unhealthy?
Thankful being Your saltshaker, Jesus, Amen.
THANKFUL
