“Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot by men. Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candle stick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your father which is in heaven” (Matt 5:13-16; KJV).

As Christians, we are to be salt, we are to shine as lights in the world we live in. Those who watch us should see a difference, should be led to say, what is it about you, I need what you have?

We should not hide our lamp under a basket; in other words, we should not be intimidated but be bold and shine. We should ask ourselves have we lost our saltiness, are we shining brightly for the Lord?

His love, his life-giving power and presence in us should shine out (Phil 2:13 and 15). Look at how God’s presence shone through Moses after he had met with God (Ex 34:29). God wants to show his plan and purpose through us, his church, even to all the evil principalities in the heavenly places. (Eph 3:10).

Let’s allow Gods presence, his word and power to change us today and shine through us.
