You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet.
Lord, I praise You for Your mighty acts. I praise You Lord according to Your excellent greatness! Let everything that has breath praise You Lord. For our Lord God reigns. Does the world really belief this? As Your disciple Jesus, there are several ways my life can be beneficial to others and influence the world around me. Just as salt is used as a preservative, seasoning or cleaning it also can be used to put out small fires, gets rid of fishy smells, removing stains, shine up silver and even removing grime, sweat and rust from objects so too can a life that is devoted to You. With the fruit of Your Holy Spirit and the words of our testimony we can be as salt to those around us. But sometimes salt is mixed with other ingredients and pouf the salt is gone. Lord, You have given us instructions and warning not to mingle with things of this world, listen to those who tickle the ear, or compromise the truth of Your word. Daily we need You to help us Your servants to carry out Your will and bring hope, healing and reconciliation to those who have not tasted of Your goodness. Pour out Your water on those who are thirsty, and flood those who are dry. Pour out Your Spirit on Your descendants and bless their offspring so each may declare I am the Lord's. You are our Redeemer Jesus, the Lord of hosts, the first and the last and beside You there is no God. We shall not fear nor be afraid as we are Your witness' that there is no other rock in which we stand. You are our firm foundation. May the saltiness of our lives bring a thirst to others that only You can quench Jesus. Just as a deer pants for water so the soul desires You. We love You Lord, Amen.
Psalm 150:2. Isaiah 44:1-8, Psalm 42:1
