We Are Salt and Light to Our World

Good Tuesday morning everybody. We continue the devotional series "Preparing Your Heart for Lent and Easter with the Sermon on the Mount" by Purposely with “We Are Salt and Light to Our World." In today's devotion we discuss how as "salt" we are to be preservatives, fighting against decay and corruption by living with integrity and holiness in the way of Jesus. As "salt" we are charged with also being flavor enhancers who are life-giving people to be around, full of the love and joy in the Spirit. Jesus' calling us "light" calls us to be truth-bearing witnesses to a dark and hurting world, as well as people who love the lost. Scripture readings: Matthew 5:13-16, Revelation 3:16, Isaiah 2:2-5, John 8:12, and Ephesians 5:8-9 MEDITATIONS: [1] Read Ephesians chapter 5, verses 8 and 9. Spend a few minutes in prayer asking the Holy Spirit to reveal to you any areas of darkness or any light-blockers in your life. Ephesians 5:8-9 (NIV) - For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light 9(for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth). [2] Ask Jesus to help you open these up to Him so you can be freed to shine more brightly. God Bless ... Pastor Dean
