Good Words for Today: November 10

Jesus said, “You are the salt of the earth” (Matthew 5:13). But if the salt stays in the saltshaker, what good does it do? There are always reasons for the salt to stay in the shaker. But that’s not where salt belongs. Salt was made for the soup. As long as the salt stays in the shaker, it can’t do any good. But when the salt goes into the soup, two things happen: the salt dissolves and the character of the soup is changed forever. The same thing will happen if you ever decide to get out of the saltshaker and into the soup. You may disappear from our view but you will change the character of the world around you forever. Never fear. Never give in to despair. We were made for times like these. Who knows? A handful of salty Christians can change a classroom, a neighborhood, an office, a company, and even a nation. Get ready, salty saints. Out we go, into the world, for the glory of God.
