Good day, good people! This is the day that the Lord has made; never forget that. Regardless of what you face in the morning, afternoon, or evening, this day is a gift to you and me, so let’s cherish it.
It is easy to get lost in titles. The danger of titles is that they can lead you to believe you are in a higher place while contributing nothing. My pastor once said, “Christianity is not a title but a way of life.” Sometimes, just because you are a Christian, you think you have arrived; sometimes we even behave as if we are already in heaven. Even at your workplace, be careful not to be consumed by what your position is, because first of all, you are neither the first one to have that position nor the last one to hold it. What do we have today?
Matthew 5:16 (ESV): “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.
One thing we cannot shy away from is that we are the salt of the earth; then what should follow is we have to ask ourselves, “What does that mean?” It means the earth is in need of you. And being needed is not a ticket to “Pride Avenue” (starting to become prideful). Be humble; you can lose your saltiness.
So the next thing to follow is to ask ourselves, “What causes us to lose our saltiness?” According to scientists, external factors, such as moisture, impurities, or improper storage, cause the salt to become ineffective. So yes, external factors can affect who you are, as much as “who you are” is an internal matter.
Takeaway: Find out how moisture, impurities, or improper storage can affect your saltiness.
Prayer: Abba, Father, we thank you in Jesus’ name. Ameni!
Amen, thanks for sharing 🙏
