Salt Makes People Thirsty!!!

Have you ever had one of those “Duh” type moments?
Probably not, but they often occur with me. I had one of those moments this morning while listening with the grandkids to some children’s Bible songs. The lady on the CD said, “Salt makes people thirsty.”
All my Christian life I have known the Word, and heard “If the salt has lost it’s savor where with shall it be salted.” But never have I heard “salt makes people thirsty” in the context of the Christian witness.

Matthew 5:13
Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

Saints, our walk with the Lord needs to make people thirsty for more of Him?

That’s what our life our witness is supposed to do, make people want more of Jesus, want more of the Word, want all God has for them. Our walk is supposed to make the lost want to know Him.

We are supposed to perk people’s interest, their curiosity to know the God we serve.

If our life doesn’t show the power of God at work, what does it show?
Does your life make other Christians want to know God like you do?
Does your life make other Christians want to draw closer to God?
Does your life make the lost see the reality of Gods keeping power, His sustaining power, His overcoming power?

Does the love of God show it’s self even to the unloveable through you?
(This is hard I know, but we need to accomplish this, we need to overcome our flesh, we need to crucify ourselves, and learn to love even our enemies…Amen)

Do the lost feel the presence of God when they are around you?

Is your conversation constantly about Him, are you on fire for Him, or has your fire gone out?
Are you full of His Spirit, or just your own spirit?

Our lives should show people that we believe in God, that we trust Him with our circumstances, our lives, no matter what predicament we find ourselves in…Amen?

When we are in a hard place, we should show that we trust in God, that we believe He has allowed us in this hard place to purify us further. That He is Faithful to deliver us out of our circumstances, whether they be health problems, or financial problems, or family problems, or a place of grief and sorrow, or what ever our circumstances.

Our witness needs to show that we will serve Him and trust in His faithfulness what ever comes our way. We need to learn not to complain in our particular circumstances (this to is hard, I know, but we can learn to be longsuffering if we submit ourselves first to God, resist the devil, and the temptation of our own flesh, and crucify our flesh, then the devil will flee from us.)

We need to remain calm in the midst of the storms that we face in this life, we need to strive for this, we need to learn to trust Him more and more each passing day. He who saved us and filled us with His Spirit, is able to keep us saints.

If your life seems to be the same old dull process every day, thank Him for it saints, don’t murmur and complain, don’t give in to doubt, He has you in this place for a reason, learn patience saints. Remember that Israel spent 40 years in the wilderness, and murmured and complained and that generation was killed off and not able to enter the promised land. God provided their every need, but they lost patience saints.

In our patience saints we possess our souls. Let us hold fast to Him, and thank Him every day for where we are, and what He has provided for us, no matter how much we want our lives to be different. He knows the very hairs of your head, He knows where you are, and why you are in the place you are in.

Luke 21:19
In your patience possess ye your souls

I have been in my own wilderness of shorts for 35 years, yet I have found Him to be faithful every step of the way, even when I was not faithful, even when I murmured and complained. Saints, I have had to repent many at time for my impatience. Saints you can come up higher you can trust in spite of however bleak your circumstances.

We may say, "Oh but you just don’t understand", I may not, your friends may not, your family may not, but I’ll tell you someone who does, Jesus, and He knows why your where your at, and He wants to bring you into a greater place of trusting in His faithfulness to provide for your every need. He wants you to see Him in your circumstance. He wants you to realize that He is trying to work something out in your life and heart. He is trying to purify you into a vessel of honor to Him.

When we submit ourselves fully to Him, He makes us salty, He causes people to be thirsty for Him and for what we have, He uses us for His Glory. …Amen..God Bless you saints.
