O my soul, you have said to the Lord,
“You are my Lord,
My goodness is nothing apart from You.” (Psalm 16:1-2)
God is our preservative - He keeps our souls fresh! Without God, we get rotten quick – I think we’ve all seen this happen enough to know it’s true. Keep yourself fresh by continually turning to the one who preserves!
Salt is also a preservative, which is why Jesus uses this analogy:
“You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.” (Matthew 5:13)
So, we are to be salt to this tasteless world….and we can only be salt if we are in Christ. You know, salt is quite simple to make, you simply need saltwater and a sunny day… Similarly, we know how to restore our salt once we are used up - add the Living Water and Son-light!
As sons and daughters of the King, we need to be adding flavor and freshness to this world – you only need to look around to see that it is in very short supply! Be part of the cure, by spreading your salt around!
