I think I wrote about this before but this was put on my heart after reading the word a few days ago. In Matthew chapter 5 Jesus says that we are the salt of the earth. Now I'm sure that doesn't seem like such a great thing to be, who wants to be known as salty? The thing about salt is it can be used for so many things. It melts ice away on roads, it preserves, and it can also enhance flavors. Now this all seem like great things but remember that too much salt can ruin things. The way this spoke to me was we see that salt can be used for good or it can ruin things. Two questions came to mind, first off Am I salty? Second, if so am I making things better or ruining things? Depending on which one you might answer to we have to remember this and I believe this is what Jesus was talking about, salt can only have an impact whether good or bad if it's applied to things. Salt can't ruin things or enhace things if it just stay salt all by itself. Same for us, we want to be the good qualities of salt but if we are not doing anything then what good are we?
So my prayer for us today is that we would be salty today, and for that matter that we would always be salty. I pray for strength and faith for us to let God be God.
