“You are the salt of the earth.
But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor,
can you make it salty again?
It will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless.
“You are the light of the world—like a
city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden.”
-Matthew 5:13–14 [NLT]

A Time to Think… “Even though I may not always recognize my own spiritual salt and light, I trust my Heavenly Chef—Jesus, with the seasoning necessary to bring out the best in me.” ―Cassandra Tiersma, Author, Freelance Writer, Guideposts Blogger

A Time to Act… Are you waking up to a wonderful breakfast, eggs on the griddle, finger-licking-good-bacon and buttered toast? It sounds so heavenly and that is just what our Scripture welcomes us into—a delicious person of seasonings of faith and love, just perfect to share with others!

A Time to Pray… My Jesus—my Heavenly Chef—thank you for creating in me with just the right salt—that delicious seasoning—so the best in me comes out and I can share your love and the joy of my faith with others. Help me to be that beacon of light and encouragement for those in darkness, who have lost their favor for living. In your love, strength and guidance, I ask it, AMEN.
