Don’t Blend In

Written by Garrett Morgan-

Christ has called us to be salt and light in a dark and sinful world.  This applies to every aspect of our lives;  home, work and everywhere we go.  This is commanded of us.  He didn't call us to blend in, but to be different.

 

“You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.  Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.   In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.  Matthew 5:13-16

We cannot pick and choose how and when we reflect Christ.  We must submit to Him 24/7.  Christ will use us for His glory if we allow Him to do so.  The only way to radiate Christ is to remain in the Word and prayer.  Surround yourself with believers who will strengthen you and encourage you daily (It is a daily challenge).  Don’t blend in with the world but stand strong for Christ.  It feels lonely sometimes but He promises us He will not forsake us.  We are not alone. 

Thank God this Holiday for all your blessings.  Let’s make sure we show Him with our actions that we are more thankful for Jesus Christ than any other thing in our life.  Let your light shine and be the salt of the earth. 

Thank you Jesus for your grace, love, and mercy daily!  I pray that we can be true imitators when it comes to You and Your Word.  Help us be the salt and light of the earth and not blend in with the world.  In Jesus name, Amen.
