How far down the line will you travel ……………..
away from Almighty Omniscient Omnipresent Yahweh/Jehovah,
The One True Eternal and Everlasting God,
Creator and Ruler of all things?

Doesn’t this prick your conscience? Just imagine, when your everyday is rolling along with your worldly commitments and so pressed for time that you’re neglecting God, your first priority because He’s your Creator, and not even feeling remorseful about it; God just as so much lift His finger and “unhinged” the earth from its place and it loses all gravity, what do you think will happen to you? Your body floats soullessly and inanimately into the dark vacuum space of the universe but where is your soul? Will you be praying, crying and pleading then for God to keep your soul albeit knowing in your heart it’s a bit too late?
Yes, that’s a question we should be asking ourselves every moment of everyday.
Truthfully and honestly, contemplate and ponder the path of your life, discern your ways of living and consider it whether it’s right and worthy in the eyes of God. Do remember, the narrow gate leads to heaven and the wide temptation gate of sin will set you onto a field of landmines that ultimately destroys your soul. Do not compromise your convictions, don’t desire nor seek momentary pleasures nor worldly profits which fades like the blades of grass. Those fame, fortune, prestige and accolades are here today but gone tomorrow, like the flower aptly named “morning glory” because they open and close the same day.

Seek earnestly and honor the Will of God Yahweh/Jehovah for His reward for you is your “name” in the Book of Life and a place in His Heavenly Kingdom. Do not tarry, guard your Heart and your Soul for His Eternal Son, our Messiah and Lord, Yeshua/Jesus is coming quickly!

Be the Salt of the Earth
*Salt of the Earth*

Salt is not an expensive article of food, but a very important one.
When the Lord Jesus was here upon earth,
He said, “YOU are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its strength,
how will its saltness be restored? It is no longer usable for anything
but to be thrown outside to be trampled on by men.”
*Matthew 5:13*
∞
All that salt is in the natural, the Lord Jesus wants the Christian to be
in a spiritual sense. Salt was a common product in the days when the
Lord Jesus walked the earth, as now, so that His disciples understood
what He meant when He said, “Ye are the salt of the earth.”
ô
Let us listen to the message of the fine grains of salt.
Salt is used to season food and make it palatable.
Think of a meal being served without salt.
So, think of a community without Christians.
The reason such terrible conditions exist in heathen lands,
is that the Lord Jesus is not known and the Bible not read.
People who do not know Him are SALTLESS.
There is no savor about their lives.
Salt permeates, or penetrates food very quickly.
Put a bit in a glass of water and soon the entire contents are affected by it.
It is not careful to hide its identity—it seems to be constantly saying,
“I am salt: I am salt.”
δ
Salt has healing properties, and is often used as an antiseptic or a purifier.
If Christian boys and girls are like salt, then they too, will lend a purifying
influence among their playmates and friends.
They will be able to HEAL many quarrels and misunderstandings.
Parents are always glad to have their children make friends with the
Christian boy or girl, for this very reason.
ζ
Salt is very powerful, too, as you shall see.
I have here a jar of water and an egg.
When I put the egg in the jar of water, notice what happens!
Why, the egg falls to the bottom of the jar.
It can only be lifted up by means of a spoon.
But suppose I add some salt, then what will happen?
See the egg come to the top!
Salt has lifting power, and is able not only to lift the egg,
but to keep it afloat on the water.
The world drags a man down in sin and would keep him down.
A Christian should, like the salt, lift men “up”—not in his own
strength, but by pointing him to the One, who alone can reach
down to the depths and lift a man up to the heights.
“Furthermore, there is no salvation in anyone else,
for there is not another name under heaven that has
been given among men by which we must get saved”
except the name of Jesus.
*Acts 4:12*
There is power in His name.
“Thou shalt call His name Jesus for He shall save
His people from their sins”
*Matthew 1:21*
♥
When one accepts the Lord Jesus as Saviour,
he becomes a “new creature in Christ Jesus.”
His life becomes powerful like the “salt.”
He has a savor about him that tells of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Are you like these little white grains of salt?
If not, the Lord Jesus wants you to be.
Hear His words,
“Ye are the salt of the earth.”
Ψ
“For everyone must be salted with fire.
Salt is fine; but if ever the salt loses its strength,
with what will YOU season it itself?
Have salt in yourselves, and keep peace between one another.”
*Mark 9:49-50*

PROVERBS CHAPTER 8
The Discourse of Wisdom
1 Does not wisdom call out?
Does not understanding raise her voice?
2 On the heights along the way,
where the paths meet, she takes her stand;
3 beside the gates leading into the city,
at the entrances, she cries aloud:
4 “To you, O men, I call out;
I raise my voice to all mankind.
5 You who are simple, gain prudence;
you who are foolish, gain understanding.
6 Listen, for I have worthy things to say;
I open my lips to speak what is right.
7 My mouth speaks what is true,
for my lips detest wickedness.
8 All the words of my mouth are just;
none of them is crooked or perverse.
9 To the discerning all of them are right;
they are faultless to those who have knowledge.
10 Choose my instruction instead of silver,
knowledge rather than choice gold,
11 for wisdom is more precious than rubies,
and nothing you desire can compare with her.
12 “I, wisdom, dwell together with prudence;
I possess knowledge and discretion.
13 To fear the LORD is to hate evil;
I hate pride and arrogance,
evil behavior and perverse speech.
14 Counsel and sound judgment are mine;
I have understanding and power.
15 By me kings reign
and rulers make laws that are just;
16 by me princes govern,
and all nobles who rule on earth.
17 I love those who love me,
and those who seek me find me.
18 With me are riches and honor,
enduring wealth and prosperity.
19 My fruit is better than fine gold;
what I yield surpasses choice silver.
20 I walk in the way of righteousness,
along the paths of justice,
21 bestowing wealth on those who love me
and making their treasuries full.
The Eternity of Wisdom
22 “The LORD brought me forth as the first of his works,
before his deeds of old;
23 I was appointed from eternity,
from the beginning, before the world began.
24 When there were no oceans, I was given birth,
when there were no springs abounding with water;
25 before the mountains were settled in place,
before the hills, I was given birth,
26 before he made the earth or its fields
or any of the dust of the world.
27 I was there when he set the heavens in place,
when he marked out the horizon on the face of the deep,
28 when he established the clouds above
and fixed securely the fountains of the deep,
29 when he gave the sea its boundary
so the waters would not overstep his command,
and when he marked out the foundations of the earth.
30 Then I was the craftsman at his side.
I was filled with delight day after day,
rejoicing always in his presence,
31 rejoicing in his whole world
and delighting in mankind.
The Blessings of Wisdom
32 “Now then, my sons, listen to me;
blessed are those who keep my ways.
33 Listen to my instruction and be wise;
do not ignore it.
34 Blessed is the man who listens to me,
watching daily at my doors,
waiting at my doorway.
35 For whoever finds me finds life
and receives favor from the LORD.
36 But whoever fails to find me harms himself;
all who hate me love death.”
