PASS THE SALT

 
Matthew 5:13
 
"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." ESV 
 
We are all aware that salt is used primarily to enhance the flavor of food. It's more important use is to prevent spoilage and rotting. Pure salt has abundant flavor and preserving properties. As Christians, we are the salt here on earth. We have been touched by God and made pure by the blood of Christ. Just like salt, we have to have contact with an intended source in order to be effective. Our lives should be lived so that the rotting and decaying of this world will be delayed until all hear the Gospel.
 
Heavenly Father, oh how we fail to stay focused on the crucial principle of living so that the world will hold together until everyone has heard the Gospel. Help us to restore our flavor and effectiveness so that we will be useful for Your kingdom. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

GET A MOVE ON

 
Philemon 1:6
 
"And I pray that the sharing of your faith may become effective for the full knowledge of every good thing that is in us for the sake of Christ." ESV
 
When we talk about our faith, God uses us to inspire others. But when we put our faith into action, others can see God moving in response to our active faith. As a result, everyone who sees this active faith is a witness to the great and marvelous things the Lord God is eager and waiting to do for those who dare to put feet to their faith.
 
Heavenly Father, we earnestly seek to put our faith into action so that we can testify to Your almighty power and grace. And, we desire to see Your glorious blessings evident to others, that they be drawn to You by the witness of the Holy Spirit and that they likewise take on this active faith.
