Unveiling His face!
You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavour, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men (Matthew 5:13).
Salt has the ability to melt ice and smother fires similar to a lid. This planet is burning with the weight of suppression and emotions. This is happening as God brings down the mind of humanity. It has lost its flavour! Salt is good; but if the salt has lost its flavour, how shall it be seasoned? It is neither fit for the land nor for the dunghill. But men throw it out. He who has an ear let him hear (Luke 14:34).
We are the light and salt of God’s earth. Without our saltiness and light, how can people find God? The old-fashioned church only displayed a fraction of His light, causing many to stray of fall away from their faith. It is the duty of those who went above and beyond human traditions to bring light to a world in darkness.
People are eager to witness God’s power! Different from tradition, routine, and the usual.
Arise, shine, for your light has come and the glory of the Lord is over you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon you and His glory shall be seen upon you (Isaiah 60: 1-3).
The light falls upon those who have overcome life and devoted the life as a holy and pleasing sacrifice, which is your genuine act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the patterns of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind (Romans 12).
I dedicated twelve years to sit under trees and by rivers, renewing my mind. The result, inner peace reigns in my mind, with no battles to be fought. I organized the disorder of humanity for myself. Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. My thinking was not influenced by any humans; I came to my own conclusions. God and His word marked the line in the sand for me. That’s all.
I have discovered both my saltiness and light. However, there is still more to be revealed!
Why did Lot’s wife become a pillar of salt? Because she was the salt of the earth. I have heard the sermon for years that she turned into salt because she disobeyed and looked back. I believe she was the one intervening on behalf of the people of Sodom and Gomorrah. Salt symbolizes permanence, loyalty, durability, usefulness, value, and purification. God’s covenant and promise are also linked to salt. Why would God decide to make Lot’s wife a symbol of covenant and promise?
Because she was the salt of the earth and the light of the world. If I intended to make a statement, I’d exhibit a pillar of salt on a hill for the world to witness. It seems that the pillar of salt is still standing. Even though she disobeyed God by looking back, He transformed her into a pillar of salt for a reason.
Due to his anger and actions towards a rock, Moses was unable to enter the promised land after forty years of desert journey. As far as I know, Moses would have successfully taken the Israelites to the promised land. Being in the desert with constant complainers day in and day out would make me willing to say go the rest of the way by yourselves. Moses had had enough of it. Patience is a lesson from the rock, but there’s a deeper meaning.
These people are the salt of the earth and the light!
Make sure you finish all your tasks and run your race before you check out of life. Ensure that your light shines brightly for everyone to witness. Refrain from guiding people towards any particular name or affiliation.
Reveal the divine within you, the light of hope and glory.
