Are you salty?

Mark 9:49 For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.

 50 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.

Not many people like bland food, unseasoned meats and vegetables. It just tastes better. Makes it more attractive to the pallete. You want more when it is seasoned properly.

We must be seasoned in our walk with God. It will show others that God is good. It will make the lost want to be saved. 

Without the firey trials, or the time spent learning and leaning on the Lord, we won’t have the saltness needed for our witness and staying power. The Holy Ghost, sent as our comforter, is also our guide through to being seasoned.

Think about who/what you like to listen to. The seasoned and learned minister or the stumbling, not sure of their text preacher? The practiced and trained singer or the off key crooner that forgets the words? Which draws you more than the other? The carnal mind sees and hears AND knows who is real and seasoned. Yet, even the "cant carry a tune in a bucket", singer when under the anointing, attracts the drawing of the lost to God.

Seasoning, salting, preparing your way to heaven attracts others to follow you as you follow Christ and become seasoned themselves.

Scripture says, “Psalms 34:8 O taste and see that the LORD is good:”

Job 12:11 Doth not the ear try words? and the mouth taste his meat?

Get salty! Don't quit when the going gets tough. Let the pressure that cures (like meat) season you. Preparing you for greatness in the Lord!

When I was a little girl I use to hear people say "try, try again"/ 

Don't let anything make you quit. TRY, THEN TRY AGAIN.
