What Do People See...

Salt and Light...We've read the Scripture...We've heard countless sermons on the passage...While many church-going Christians should have a good handle on this concept, it seems like we still need some work on putting the concept into practice.

This morning, I'm wondering to myself..."What do people see when I'm going about my daily activities? Do they see salt and light? Do they see good deeds? Or do they see someone trying to avoid them at all costs? Do they see someone with his own agenda, his own priorities, his own interests in mind?"

I think these are good things consider because they help keep us on our toes...Are we adding a bit of salt to the world around us...Are we bringing light into the world...Are we abundant in good deeds that reflect the awesome glory of our Father in heaven???

"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. You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. 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. In the same way, let your lights shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."

(Matthew 5:13-16)
