Mark 9
Inspired thots
The last line of the chapter..."have salt in yourselves"... stands out this morning. This is similar to what Jesus taught in Matthew 5:13 "You are the salt of the earth". Mark 9:50 is a prelude. Before we can be the ''salt of the earth", we must "have salt" in ourselves.
Salt is good for seasoning; hence, those in Christ must be seasoned with the word and ways of God. For the verse ends with "be at peace with one another". When we are well seasoned, we are at peace with everyone as nothing can rattle us with our focus right on God despite all circumstances.
A daily time out with the Lord Jesus, to hear Him speak to ME. I am asking the Lord to share HIS thoughts with ME, to teach me more about Himself, and how I can be drawn closer to Him... for 'His thoughts are not my thoughts and neither are His ways my ways' Isaiah 55:8,9. This blog is not a theological exegesis. This blog is to record down the INSIGHTS & INSPIRATIONS of God's Word to me; speaking LIFE into my life for Abundant life! :)
