Morning Reflection — Salt That Preserves
“You are the salt of the earth; but if salt has lost its taste, how can its saltiness be restored?
It is no longer good for anything but is thrown out and trampled under foot.”
— Matthew 5:13
In the ancient world, salt was not primarily about taste.
It was about preservation.
Salt kept food from spoiling.
It slowed decay.
It protected what mattered from being lost.
When Jesus calls us the salt of the earth, he is not asking us to dominate, perform, or seek recognition—
but to remain faithful to what preserves life and hope.
We are called to preserve hope for the discouraged—
when life has worn them down and the future feels thin.
We are called to preserve the possibility of redemption for the fallen—
when shame tries to convince them their story is over.
We are called to preserve the dignity and honor of every person—
especially when the world is quick to discard, label, or trample.
Salt does its work without seeking attention or recognition,
preserving what would otherwise be lost—
because preservation itself is an act of love.
And when we live this way, the world does not lose
what God still intends to heal.
I’m Horace McMillon.
This is 60 Seconds of Hope.
Peace be with you.
