In Matthew 5, Jesus calls us the salt of the earth and the light of the world, reminding us that our lives are meant to preserve, illuminate, and point others to Him. This season on Savory Salt, we'll walk through the Old Testament, one verse and one thought each day. Perhaps these moments will add greater savor and brighter light to our lives as we seek to truly live as Savory Salt.
Hello my friends. It's a new day with new opportunities. Choose ye this day whom you will serve.
Psalm 117 is only two verses long and yet its testimony is powerful and can invite the Spirit. What does that mean for you and for me? Let's take a look at our tiny little psalm here today.
Psalm 117. I'm going to choose verse 2. I had a 50-50 shot in order to decide which one to share.
Verse 2 says: For his merciful kindness is great toward us, and the truth of the Lord endureth forever. Praise ye the Lord. Now we were just talking yesterday about the difference in.
Sometimes as we're considering the ways that we praise the Lord, perhaps we hide a little bit. Perhaps we hide that light in the bushel a little bit. We're worried about what others may see or think or feel when we share small testimonies of truth.
And yet here in Psalm 117, we're reminded that it doesn't take a massive soliloquy; it doesn't take long paragraphs and complex sentences; it doesn't take an intense vocabulary. While those things are totally acceptable if that's the way that you choose to speak and to share, what it takes is the Spirit. My friends, don't overcomplicate it.
In your praise of the Lord and your sharing with others, keep it simple and allow for the Spirit to do the rest. That's all for today, my friends. You and I have come here for such a time as this.
Step forward in faith and let's be savory salt. We will be here tomorrow, and we hope you are too.
