‭‭Colossians‬ ‭4‬:‭5‬-‭6‬ ‭MSG‬‬ — Use your heads as you live and work among outsiders. Don’t miss a trick. Make the most of every opportunity. Be gracious in your speech. The goal is to bring out the best in others in a conversation, not put them down, not cut them out.

How do we lose our saltiness? In our key verse from Colossians, we are instructed not to miss a trick and make the most of every opportunity. It is easy to get comfortable in our Christian walk, however, God calls us to be uncomfortable. If we aren’t bringing out the best in ourselves and others, have we lost our salt? 

I have written 5 “Be aware” suggestions to guide us as salty Christians.

• Be aware of the enemy who tricks us into thinking we don’t need to be salty.
• Be aware of opportunities to witness.
• Be aware of God-given opportunities to give and accept Godly instruction. 
• Be aware of our Christian walk and our comfortability.
• Be aware of our why! We are here for a God-given destiny. 

Let’s pray. Dear God, thank You for opportunities to be a witness. Guide me on my journey of being a salty Christian. Keep me uncomfortable for Your glory. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
