Embrace the Within no. 124

“You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has lost its taste (purpose), how can it be made salty? It is no longer good for anything, but to be thrown out and walked on by people [when the walkways are wet and slippery]."

Matthew 5:13 AMP

Salt gets a bad reputation these days. When folks find out I mix salt.in my with water, I get strange looks and questions. BUT salt has an important purpose. Salt is crucial for hydration. When salt is placed in every food, the salt is no longer being used for its intended purpose and folks want to get rid of all of it.

We need to remain focused on our purpose. When we want to be all things to all people, we are going to find that folks no longer find God through our walk. Instead, our walk will lead folks into problems and away from The Truth.

“Your lives are like salt among the people. But if you, like salt, become bland, how can your ‘saltiness’ be restored? Flavorless salt is good for nothing and will be thrown out and trampled on by others."

Matthew 5:13 TPT

Additionally, if we lose our focus on The Way of the Lord, we lose our ability to be Ambassadors for His Kingdom. Our focus is important to keep us useful in His Kingdom. Without our focus, we will find ourselves outside of His Will and useful for nothing.

"Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt haue lost his sauour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be troden vnder foote of men."

Matthew 5:13 GNV

How can we find our purpose once we lose it? No other place works like returning to the source of our purpose. Returning to The Word, conversation with Him, and fellowship with brothers and sisters will get our focus restored. Turning away.from those things can allow us to fall out of purpose.

At that time Yeshua [God is Salvation] said to his disciples: “You are salt in the world. If the salt is neutralized in regard to its taste with what will it be salted? It is fit for nothing but to be cast outside to be trampled underfoot”.

Matthew 5:13 NMV

Let us not be trampled. Let us not be cast aside. Let us focus on our purpose and not waiver.

“You are salt for the Land. But if salt becomes tasteless, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything except being thrown out for people to trample on."

Mattityahu (Mat) 5:13 CJB

I pray that I retain my flavor for The Word. I pray that I will not lose focus on my purpose as an Ambassador of His Kingdom. And if I do begin to lose my flavor, that reading, praying, and fellowship will return me to my purpose.

I love you. I forgive you. Have a blessed and abundant day!
