Salt
September 12, 2018
I have often puzzled over Scripture stating we believers are the salt of the earth. Matthew 5: 13. I gained insights in the Amazon Rain Forest. Birds, such as the McCaw and animals like the wart hog go to clay licks that simply look like banks of mud. They feast hungrily on this clay. Strange, I thought. The guide explained that salt is necessary for their diet to balance electrolites. The region, being away from the ocean with its salt in the rain, where do they get their salt? From the old forest. Its dirt contains salt. They can only live if they go regularly and devour salt.
Every person around us needs what we have to live. Their eternal life depends one it.
Everyone needs it. We can share it.
