Do you ever wonder what it would be like not to have salt or light? In correct amounts salt adds flavor to what would be bland. Without light can you imagine what all you would walk into. On the other hand too much salt and too much light at the wrong time are of no value and do as much, or more, harm as good. We should learn how to season those around us, in life, with the word of God and be the light that shines in the darkness. When I thing about Salt and Light these words come to mind: Love, Joy, Gentleness, Compassion, Hope, Faith, Kindness, Grace, Mercy, Generous, and Humbleness. Opportunities are around us every day, let us discern what is pleasing to the Lord.
Matthew 5:13
“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. “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden”
Luke 14:34
“Salt is good, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is of no use either for the soil or for the manure pile. It is thrown away. He who has ears to hear, let him hear
Ephesians 5:8
for at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light (for the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true), and try to discern what is pleasing to the Lord. Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them
John 12:35
“The light is among you for a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you. The one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going. While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light
