Today Is Your Day To Add Flavor!

" But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor?” (Matthew 13:5b, NLT).

Good Morning!

Today is my brother’s birthday. As a high school principal, he makes an active difference in the lives of teenagers and their families. One of the many things that I know about my brother is that he believes in the basic right for kids to have a good education and the opportunity to make a difference in this world. I celebrate my brother today—he adds flavor to this world as the salt of the earth.

Salt was a valued commodity as a condiment and preservative and in the ancient days. In the hot arid country, salt was necessary to preserve meat and other foods from decaying and decomposing. Additionally, sharing salt signified friendship.

Jesus said we are to be salt of the earth, posing the question, "But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor?”

So, we need to consider the days that we are stagnant and uninvolved in the needs of the world. In reality, we each have a set number of days to live and flavor this world as salt. Flavor requires renewal and refreshment by taking time to breathe, to be still, and to know the presence of God.

Today is your day to add flavor in the world.
Breathe.
Be aware of God.
Renew.
Refresh.
Flavor your corner of the world as salt.

Learning with you to be flavor as the salt of the earth,
Kerrie
