Daily Quiet Time Reflections: Jan. 5, 2009

Proverbs 1:23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.

Matthew 5:13 ¶ Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

My Journal:
Repentance is required for God to pour out His spirit on me and make His Word known to me (give me understanding of His revealed Word NOT give new revelation). This is my relation to God.

My relation to others is to be salt and light. How might my salt lose its flavor? By tolerating respectable sins in my life, such as complaining, discontentment, drawing attention to myself instead of pointing to God. My attitude and actions are key to being salt and light in the world.
