Shake it up…make ‘em thirsty!

Matthew 5:13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt has lost his savor, wherewith shall it be salted? It is (you are) thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. I was listening to the radio the other day. A preacher came on the air talking about the effects of salt. He was saying how salt makes us thirsty when consumed. He went on to say that once ingested salt can cause the consumer to seek out water or beverage to quench their thirst. He ended the talk quoting the scripture from Matthew 5:13 and asking a question, that I would like to pose in this article today, “Are you making those around you thirst?” If we are, as the scripture says, the “salt of the earth” are we doing as we what we are supposed to be doing? Salt causes thirst. But salt in a shaker is no good until it is put to use. How are we supposed to salt the earth? Well, as Christians we are to share the good news of God’s word. The scripture tells us in Isaiah 11:55 “So will My word be that goes forth out of My mouth: It will not return to Me void, but it will accomplish that which I please, and it will prosper in the thing where I sent it.” Simply put if you sprinkle out the word, change will take place. But how can the world be flavored if we “the salt,” refuse to “shake it up?” We have to be willing to share the word with as many people as we can without fear. The last thing we should want is to become flavorless or useless salt…right? If you are truly salt (and I am talking to myself as well) when was the last time you witnessed or testified and fed a hungry soul or caused one to become thirsty? When shared, the word will surly leave them waiting more so, go ahead, SHAKE IT UP…Make ‘em thirsty! Think about it!
