Balance Life’s Demands with Grace
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.—Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NIV)
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.—Matthew 5:13 (NIV)
While preaching the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus proclaimed, “You are the salt of the earth” (Matthew 5:13). On the simplest level, Christ’s words are about salt as a flavor enhancer. He is telling us that as Christians, we are here to season the world with grace and the results of knowing Him.
Lord Jesus today and every day help me be full of grace and salt.
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.—Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NIV)
Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.—2 Corinthians 9:7 (NIV)
For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.—2 Corinthians 4:17 (NIV)
