Do you like salt? There are certain things that require salt. If you're eating a tomato sandwich, salt is a necessity. If you are making homemade ice cream, there has to be some salt involved. If you are eating french fries, yep, I want some salt.
Salt serves several purposes, which include preservation and flavor enhancement. Without salt being added to tomato sandwiches and french fries, they just are not the same. They are missing something in the flavor department.
The Bible refers to us, Christians, as the salt of the earth. If you are a Christian, you bring a certain flavor to those you come in contact with. It is GOD'S design that His children enhance things, make them more flavorful.
Today's word comes from Matthew 5:13, NLT, which reads, "You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor?"
Having eaten quite a few bland Navy meals, I can tell you that without proper seasoning, things just don't go down as well, they just aren't palatable. If you want someone to try what you are eating, you have to make it tasty.
Others are watching our walk, our talk, our demeanor, our saltiness. Are we bringing flavor to those around us? Or, are we just bland tofu on an endless buffet? This world is needing to see that there is something that can appease their appetite and fill their hunger - JESUS. Yet, they aren't ever going to know how good JESUS is if we don't share the true flavor. You are the salt of the earth, bring some flavor to those around you.
Be Blessed,
