LET YOUR GOOD DEEDS SHINE!

” YOU ARE THE SALT OF THE EARTH. BUT WHAT GOOD IS SALT IF IT HAS LOST ITS FLAVOR? CAN YOU MAKE IT SALTY AGAIN? MATTHEW 5:13

” IN THE SAME WAY LET YOUR GOOD DEEDS SHINE OUT FOR ALL TO SEE, SO THAT EVERYONE WILL PRAISE YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER.” MATTHEW 5:16

We are the salt of the earth. We are those who believe the things of our God in heaven. We are those who accept his ways and praise and live our lives as he directs us through thick and thin times. It is so easy to let down in times of struggle. However, these are the times in which we should be at our strongest. These are the times we should allow our faith in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to take over. The times when we are at our worst are the times our faith should shine like bright stars in the night sky. As we go through struggles in life, and continue to shine for Jesus’, those around us will begin to ask questions. They take notice allowing opportunities to open up for our witness for Christ. But if we lose our saltiness in times of struggles then we are no different than any other person of the world. We succumb to the doubts, worries, fears, sicknesses and other weaknesses. This is not the plan. We are to continue to pray for our healing. We are to continue to give our Lord thanksgiving for our strength in our time of need. It does not matter how we feel or what we see it only matters that we believe in what Jesus died for and what his death and resurrection has done for each of us in our lives. Miracles do happen every day. Some are recognized instantly, others later and still others go by without being recognized at all. In today’s world we need to be warriors for Christ. We cannot waver and sometimes be on board and other times live as the world does. We must sell out completely to Jesus. When we do, we will shine like the bright stars on a dark night. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!
