Soon, the one serving bag of chips was gone, but there was still no idea for a devotional. I began to get a strong desire for some water to drink. The salt in the potato chips had made me thirsty. So, I got up and poured a glass of water and settled down in front of my laptop again. Then, it hit me.
Salt creates thirst.
Many would say that being the salt means preserving, flavoring, and purifying the world around us. Those things are true. Yep, our lives should create a desire in others to drink from the Living Water. You see, salt creates thirst. Christian, if we are the salt that Jesus called us to be, then our lives are going to influence those around us.
