Matthew 5: 13 “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."
This part of Matthew is so full of great advice from Jesus. Yet this is the verse that spoke to me today. It is so easy to neglect your faith. You lose your saltiness, and what is your value then?
Yesterday I turned in my letter of resignation, announcing my intent to retire at the end of this school year. I know I will be a better human being when I am relieved from the stresses of this job. I have really enjoyed my career, but I get caught up in the "day-to-day" demands and I neglect my spirituality. I pray I will be "saltier" than ever next year! ;)
Prayer: Lord, do not allow me to be lukewarm. Keep my saltiness intact. I want to be a follower of Yours more than anything else. Remove the blocks that eclipse my clear view of You.
Amen
I didn't realize that today was the anniversary of my momentous decision! I'm so much happier this year. Praise be to God who showed me that making this difficult decision was just what I needed.
