Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭13‬ ‭NIV‬‬ — “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.”

This week I will be sharing the salt of the Earth. Let’s look at signs of summer in comparison with our walk with Christ Jesus. Our family loves to fish. Nothing like holding a scaly fish in your hands. The fish’s scales vary in type, size and color. They are commonly meant for protection. 

In today’s key verse from the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus refers to saltiness as our Christ-like, God-flavors we share through our words, actions, and reactions. We must protect this gift by staying salty through humility, love, forgiveness, and grace. How can we do this? Like a fisherman would cast a weighted net, we can humble ourselves before God and be content in where and with whom God has positioned us.

Take a moment to meditate on ‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭5‬:‭6‬-‭7‬ ‭NIV‬‬ — Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

Let’s pray. Dear God, thank You for the God-flavors of this Earth in Your presence. I humbly come before You and cast my anxiety before You. Equip me to be Christ-like in my actions and reaction. In Jesus’ Name I pray, Amen.
