Scriptural Foundation:
Matthew 5:13 New King James Version (NKJV)
“You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.
Reflection:
Every season of your life, provides the seasoning for your life’s purpose. Think about that! When cooking seasoning by itself doesn’t taste that great, you’re not going to eat a bowl full of onions are you? However seasonings applied to meat or vegetables in concert together taste amazing. The same is true about life…this season in your life may not be the most favorable memory, but it will provide a better life for you and your family having gone through it.
Seeking Revelation:
Grab your note book.
- List every area in your life (i.e. Relationship with the Lord, husband, kids, home, work, study group, etc)
- In the reflection we mentioned meat (aka dying to self – dead flesh) and vegetables (aka – raw resources/situations the Lord puts in your path). Identify the items on your list as a meat or vegetable.
- Present your list to the Lord, ask Him where you have lost your flavor and then for those items ask Him to restore its flavor for the sake of the Kingdom.
