“For everyone will be tested with fire. Salt is good for seasoning. But if it loses its flavor, how do you make it salty again? You must have the qualities of salt among yourselves and live in peace with each other.” (Mark 9:49-50)

 

When I was younger my grandfather would hang meat in a room he built. He would cover them in salt to preserve them. Every time we went into this room it was so hot. He would always tell us the heat was to make the meat better. There will times in that it feels like we are in the “heat” of life. We will face hard times when we just want to give up. But God has salted us to preserve us throughout the heat we face.
