The town where I live during the week is a salty place. I live there because my job requires it. It's 4 hours away and it's too far to drive back and forth, but it's not bad except, like I said.. it's salty. It is home to 3 of the largest salt companies in the United States and 75 % of all the salt on all the tables in the US are mined in the town where I work. I am NOT involved in the salt industry but I think its a funny coincidence that God sent me to a salt town in Central Kansas to be renewed in him. Think about it... Matt. 5:13 says " 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 but to be thrown out and be trampled on by men" Recently I was thrown out.. God has taken me to Kansas to be made Salty. I know its more of a metaphor, but that is how it feels.
Matthew 4: 16 Says " The people living in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the Shadow of Death, a light has dawned."
Matthew 5:14 says "You are the light of the world, A city on a hill cannot be hidden."
What I am babbling about today is that God sent his son to be a model for us... as we walk in the light as he is the light, we become the light ourselves. We become the Salt of the Earth for others to taste. Living in him produces a glow from his light that in essence becomes light for others to see the way. It is illuminated by the time we spend around him. If you lay a piece of steak on a plate with Salt on it, the steak isn't just cleaned off and nothing happens, no.. not at all. The Steak becomes salty when cooked and the flavor is changed. As we spend time in his presence, the taste we leave others with when we live is changed for them as well. In the place of neediness they see confidence. In the place of bitterness, they begin to see love for others. Its not rocket science.. it just works that way.
I am thrilled that God has had me in a place to re salt me again... I pray that I am leaving others with a different taste these days..
Peace.. ; )
