THE DAILY BLUEPRINT - 8.7.09
Seasoned Speech
Colossians 4:6
Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you out to answer every man!
Our speech as Christ followers must always be full of grace - and today's verse adds seasoned with salt - to me salt seasons food - it also preserves things - another thing salt can do is sting - so an application of this today would be letting our speech always lift up Jesus Christ at all times and also to show those who hear what we say - that Christ came to save them from the sins - to some this will really sting, to the self-righteous - it will down right make them mad - many feel that if they just have more good then bad in their lives - it all balances out - and God is pleased - but the truth is - once we come to know CHRIST - He changes our hearts and we want to do nothing more then please Him - this must include our speech - now by this I am not saying we cannot joke around and have fun - but there are limits - our mouths should be used for God's glory like any other part of our body - what we say does matter - but what we do matters more - so lets make sure what comes out of our mouths is pure and honest - for what comes from the mouth actually comes from the heart- We have been called to be the salt of the world - let your speech be seasoned so that it flavors the world for Christ!
Being salty for JESUS~ Daniel<><
BUILDING MOMENT:
WHAT WE SAY IS THE SPICE OF OUR LIVES
Because we have CHRIST - Our words LIFT HIM UP!
8.7.09 - Building on the WORD
WHAT IS OUR LIFE SAYING? ARE WE SALTY ENOUGH?
