Salt
“As for the oblation of the firstfruits, ye shall offer them unto the LORD: but they shall not be burnt on the altar for a sweet savour. And every oblation of thy meat offering shalt thou season with salt; neither shalt thou suffer the salt of the covenant of thy God to be lacking from thy meat offering: with all thine offerings thou shalt offer salt.” (Leviticus 2:12-13)
Today’s Morsel: For years we have heard that salt is bad for you. I never gave into that false saying because I knew that God’s word had has always said: “Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves and have peace one with another.” (Mark 9:50). Jesus even says that we are the salt of the earth (Matthew 5:13). Salt changes things. It changes the taste of meats and other foods. It makes melons taste sweeter. It makes water that is nonpotable potable for drinking. The Lord told Moses, “And every oblation of thy meat offering shalt thou season with salt; neither shalt thou suffer the salt of the covenant of thy God to be lacking from thy meat offering: with all thine offerings thou shalt offer salt.” Because we are to be salt in the earth, we must change things. Our lives ought to reflect true change. And we ought to be changers of our environment and surroundings. When we bring our offerings to Him, it ought to be offered with abundance of salt. As the salt represents our covenant with Him. And in keeping of that covenant, we should offer God our very best every time.
Sing: Lord, I give you my heart, I give my soul, I live for You alone. Every breathe that I take, every moment I’m awake, Lord, have Your way in me.
Thought For Today: Salt without taste is worthless.
