Lord, I need to stay close to You. This fallen world offers so many distractions vying for my attention. I’m troubled how easily I get off-track in living for You. You warned us how “our salt can lose its saltiness and become useless” (Matthew 5:13). Lord, help me be known as a salty Christ-follower. I will need Your Spirit’s help in keeping my saltiness from being corrupted by unbelief, or carnal influences that compromise my integrity. Or worse—little sins I do that I consider “innocent.” Your cross says those “innocent” sins put You on the cross just as much as those sins Scripture calls an abomination. Forgive me, Lord, and cleanse the impurities from my saltshaker. May my words and actions represent what Your Gospel is all about — mercy, grace, and forgiveness for all wounded souls who are broken in spirit. Holy Spirit, use my salt to point them to You. The closer I get to You, Jesus, the more Your salt rubs off on me.
Let me be a willing saltshaker to let Your salt flavor the world around me, Jesus. Amen
THANKFUL
