Bible Byte 'n Chocolate Chew for March 12: "Salt 'n Pepper People!?!"
Today's Bible reading (International Bible Society): Matthew 5:13-16 (NIV) . . . Visit Bible Gateway every day!
Salty people!! Think of "savory, tasty, pleasant" salt, and you've got a list of favorite people who bless your life, who add good flavoring of God's love to wherever He places them. The solid, reliable, dedicated wonderful Christian brothers and sisters we all know...God bless them!Then there's the "pepper" kind...the smarting, stubborn, strong-willed--just plain DIFFICULT people you know who bless your life by driving you deeper into God's Word, His patience, and His grace. We all know a few--they may be dear family or even Christian friends; they may be strangers we deal with in the marketplace. But they are difficult--a little pepper goes a long way, but too much can send you into coughing, choking, tearful tests of endurance and exhaustion! Know people like that? Are YOU like that? Heaven forbid! Got someone in YOUR life today who's pouring on the pepper? Ask God for His grace and wisdom to deal with the difficult people He sends across your pathway. Most likely, they are deeply hurting, from past and present circumstances--only God knows. Place them in HIS hands, ask for His grace--and be HIS salt in their lives.
Be a spiritual chef today--specialize in salting someone's life--go easy on the pepper, PLEASE--and you will have a God-seasoned, choco-rich day! Salt and sugar go together just fine, so enjoy!! Prayer: "Lord, thank You for the "salty" people in my life who continually bless and encourage me; who are so much like You in who they are and what they do. And--thank You for the "pepper" people you send across my pathway. They're not much fun but Lord, they do drive me closer to You. Bless them, heal their hurts--and help me somehow to be a little bit of YOUR salt in their lives this day. In Jesus' Name, Amen."

Please note that while I strongly adhere to major tenets of the evangelical Christian faith, I may not personally agree with every specific doctrinal belief set forth in other Christian pages, nor would all necessarily agree with me. I do want to provide a diversity of links and resource material for the entire Body of Christ to enjoy, and trust you will view it as such.A safety tip: Internet links and material may include other links and/or material which do not reflect my Christian views or yours. Please choose wisely and use with discretion! And if you find an ugly spider hiding in a dark corner, you may smash it with a broom from my BROOM CLOSET--I hate offensive stuff too!
