Greetings, Precious Family:
May the Peace of the Lord be with you.
Family, have you ever waited with excitement for a meal that looked amazing, only to be disappointed when it had no flavor? Jesus uses that same idea to make a powerful point. Salt that has lost its taste is useless. In the same way, faith that isn’t lived out loses its impact.
Jesus calls us salt, meant to bring flavor, preservation, and influence to the world around us. Our words, attitudes, and choices should make a difference. When we compromise, blend in, or stay silent, we risk becoming spiritually bland.
He also calls us light. Light isn’t meant to be hidden. It guides, exposes, and brings clarity in darkness. Our faith should be visible—not for attention, but so others can see God through how we live.
The world doesn’t need perfectly presented faith; it needs authentic, flavorful, shining faith.
Scripture Passage of the Day
Matthew 5:13-16
New International Version
Salt and Light
13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.
14 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
Let Us Pray
Spirit of the Living God, thank you for reminding us of our purpose here on earth. Help us not to lose our flavor. Renew our passion for You and strengthen our walk so that our lives reflect Your love and truth. Let our words, actions, and attitudes point others to You. Make us salt that adds value and light that brings hope. In the name of Jesus, The Christ we do pray.
And we let it be…And so it is…
Amen, Amen, and Amen
