Matthew 5:13-16:
You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has lost its taste, how
shall its saltiness be restored? ... You are the light of the world. A
city set on a hill cannot be hid... Let your light so shine before men,
that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is
in heaven.
Abba Father, Remind us today as we move through the theatre of our lives that you have called us to be salt and life.
You tell us that we are the salt of the earth; but if the salt becomes tasteless it isn't good for anything.
You tell us that we are the light of the world and we need to shine like a city on a hill.
As we walk through our day, confronted by difficult, unique, joyous, or
complicated circumstances, help us to be just the right amount of
salt...
Too much makes the food bitter/salty ... too little doesn't change anything.
For too many around us the world has become bitter or bland, make us
just the right seasoning to bring a delightful flavor back into the
lives we touch today.
As we walk through our day, being
confronted by difficult, unique, joyous, or complicated circumstances,
help us to be just the right amount of light...
Too much light is blinding and causes stumbling... too little light doesn't make any difference in the darkness.
Do not allow us to add to the darkness around us, or to cloak our light and be hidden...
Use us, as your torch, to light the way for others around us to see the path clearly so they may walk it.
You have shown us the way... may we experience your seasoning influence in our spirit today...
May we see your light today... and reflect it in a dark world desperate to see the light.
Use us as a beacon of light for your glory, in Jesus Christ name we Pray.
AMEN
May God bless you.
