“Is salt even coming out of the shaker?” I raised the dispenser to examine it. No, it wasn’t clogged or trapped which meant the salt lost its flavor.

“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 of men.”  Matthew 5:13, downloaded in my spirit as I tried one more time to successfully salt the simmering soup. Still no flavor. Even if I’d dump the salt into the soup, it wouldn’t be noticeable.

Out of curiosity I paused what I was doing to research, “Does salt loose it’s flavor?” The answer is yes. Salt that sits beyond its date loses its flavor. Since it wasn’t beneficial to flavor food, it was used on the icy spots in front of my apartment.

…. “you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light,” …  (2 Peter 2:9 KJV) Born again believers we are required to salt our offering to God. Give Him the praise and recognition He’s worthy of! Have you heard the saying, “You can lead the horse to the water but can’t make it drink?” True, we can’t make them drink; however, the right amount of salt can make them want to drink. Every time we eat salty foods, it makes us thirsty. Here is another interesting fact, salt reduces bitterness but increases the sweet and sour. Salt is even used to kill weeds. It’s clear way Jesus said, “Ye are the salt of the earth.
