Select the verse that speaks to you!
Scripture: 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 our and trampled by men.
You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:13-16 NIV
Observation: In verse 13 the term salf of the earth is used to define us. The important part of this verse, to me, is that if the salt loses its saltiness, it is no longer worth anything except to be thrown out and trampled by men. The notes in my Bible say that salt was gathered from the Dead Sea and was full of impurities that caused it to lose some of its flavor.
Application: We need to prevent impurities from seeping into our lives. Keeping the Word of God close, praying with purpose and surrounding ourselves with people who will hold us accountable will help prevent impurities.
Prayer: Lord help me to keep the impurities of life out of my life.
Yes: I will keep God close to keep the impurities far away.
