Bible Verse of The Day – 5-17-22

Matthew 5:13 (NKJV) 13 “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.

Our life will affect others in a positive or negative way.

If we are a Christian, but not living right, our actions will show it. People around us will think, “boy, they are Christians and they are no different than we are”.

Our fruit will show us and them who we belong to.

I have been focusing on watching my tongue and also how I treat others more so than ever. It’s been very challenging at times, I will say. It’s hard to stay calm when I see or hear certain things.

But God keeps reminding me, “you don’t know what they have been through or where they are at in their walk”. He is gently reminding me that no one is perfect; not even me.

Being the salt of the earth is really just focusing on our walk with God and cleaning some things up as He leads us.

That’s when we will draw closer to Him and He will draw near to us.

He will point out those things we tend to overlook. He will be there to help us overcome the things that seem to get in our way in building a deeper relationship with Him.

Let’s face it, we need Him and each other to get stronger in our walk and to be the salt of the earth.

Proverbs 27:17 (NKJV) 17 As iron sharpens iron, So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.
