How many times have you read the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5? I've lost count. And yet this morning the Holy Spirit showed me the need to be salty for Christ's glory! Consider salt for a moment. Salt rubs off on whatever it touches. And once something has been "salted" it's nearly impossible to get rid of the effect of the salt! I realize Jesus is teaching us about the importance of remaining salty in Him. Losing our saltiness makes us worthless to His Kingdom. On the other hand, getting "out there" and rubbing up against those who do not yet know Him (as well as those who have lost some of their zeal/saltiness), His Love is passed along and His Presence made known. Once rubbed against the saltiness of His Presence and Love, it is nearly impossible to ignore Him! And, of course, the saltier we become, the more persecution we will face. It is enough to know that we are that well-seasoned for our Lord that Satan finds us a threat. Hallelujah! ! And don't forget where the saltiness came from in the first place! Any success we may have in rubbing off on others belongs to the Lord! It's a very good thing to be Salty for His Glory! Hallelujah and Amen.
