ReThink Life: 40 Day Devotional - Day 25 Matthew 5:13-16 CEB 13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if salt loses its saltiness, how will it become salty again? It’s good for nothing except to be thrown away and trampled under people’s feet. 14 You are the light of the world. A city on top of a hill can’t be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a basket. Instead, they put it on top of a lampstand, and it shines on all who are in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before people, so they can see the good things you do and praise your Father who is in heaven. TODAY’S THOUGHT When Jesus taught his disciples about their roles and responsibilities in life He wanted them to realize that ultimately their lives would be put on display for everyone to see as an example. It is no different with us. How we live and the choices we make should be a positive example of who Jesus is and what He means to our lives. Just like “salt” is used as a preservative and provides “flavor” and creates “thirst,” our choices in life should accomplish the same thing. Our lives should preserve the character of God. When we reflect his Character through our choices we will be like an attractive seasoning that will produce a spiritual thirst in the lives of others. People will be drawn to us and will crave what we have. This is how we are to shine our lights. Remember, God has a plan and purpose for our lives. Make a commitment today to fulfill God’s purposes in your life by shining his light through the choices you make. TODAY’S PRAYER Father, thank you for giving me a great plan and purpose for my life. Help me to shine your light through the choices I make. I want my life to reflect your character so that I can be the kind of example that will draw others to you. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
