These Pretzels Are Making Me Thirsty.

Many of us have gone to places that sell beverages. In these places they often set out containers of chips or nuts well dowsed with salt. The whole purpose is not to give you something but to make you something.

Luke 14:34 (New International Version) "Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? Jesus to tells us in this scripture that if salt loses it's saltiness it is worthless might as well throw it out. I have heard many people speak on this topic and yet few ever mention it in the way I am about to share with you.

Salt has many uses it can be a preservative and so I have heard how Christians are here as a preserving presence in the world. It also is a spice to color up the taste experience. From this thought I have heard how we are to make life here a little more zesty. And while these are good perspectives the one that moves me most concerning this scripture is when I focus in on the word saltiness.

Jesus didn't say if the salt won't preserve or if the salt is not spicy, He said if it loses it's saltiness. In this thought I realize he was saying just as the saltiness of salt makes us thirst for water or some other beverage. He wants us while we are here to have a thirsting effect on those around us. We should make others thirst for Him. However in this analogy He makes it clear we have no value in His ministry if we lose this ability.

We are living in a time when people are searching they are looking everywhere. To the governments the churches and philosophers to try and find truth. Christ in you is the only Hope of Glory The Father decided it this way. And he has place you as salt in their days to bring out the thirst for Him. Then He will draw His living water from you and give them to drink. Nothing more Refreshing than water when one is thirsty. But water without thirst is not to appealing.

Allow the Lord to lift you up out of your perspective and to see things in your life from His viewpoint. Let Him reveal to you how salty on not your are. Then in this place respond to Him, as he shows you where there is room for you to be more for Him.

God Bless
I hope somehow this made you thirsty again!
