"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." (Matthew 5:13, KJV)
Jesus Christ compares those who live as true Christians, holding fast to Him, to salt. Just as salt is essential to add flavour to the food we eat, so too must we, as Christians, bring flavour to this world. This is why Jesus says to us, "Ye are the salt of the earth."
Because salt is such a necessary substance, we give it a prominent place in our kitchens. But if this salt were to lose its savor and become like mere lime, would we not throw it out? It would be trampled underfoot by men. In the same way, the Lord Jesus Christ teaches that a life without testimony is equally worthless.
Today, there are many faithful servants labouring with a zeal to proclaim Christ to the people. However, there are also many saltless Christians and Christian workers who undermine their efforts. Daily, we see news reports of Christian workers involved in disgraceful acts: a Christian worker murdering his wife, another sexually harassing young girls and being arrested under the POCSO Act, or workers arrested in cases of rape and financial fraud. These are the ones who have become like salt that has lost its savor, as Jesus described.
We cannot deny that their names stink in the newspapers and are trampled upon by men. Indeed, "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." Beloved, today the enemies of Christianity are not outside; the saltless Christians themselves are the enemies of Christ.
Only when others recognize that the Christ we preach is the unique Son of God, proclaimed by no one else, will they accept Him. And it is only our testimonial lives, as salt with savor, that can cause this realization. Today, many who do not know Christ live more righteous lives than many Christians. Therefore:
"Thus saith the Lord God; Because ye multiplied more than the nations that are round about you, and have not walked in my statutes, neither have kept my judgments, neither have done according to the judgments of the nations that are round about you; therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I, even I, am against thee, and will execute judgments in the midst of thee in the sight of the nations. And I will do in thee that which I have not done, and whereunto I will not do any more the like, because of all thine abominations." (Ezekiel 5:7-9, KJV)
In other words, God says, "I will punish those who have become saltless, living worse lives than those of other races who do not know Christ, yet claiming to know Him." Therefore, beloved, let us not be like saltless salt, trampled underfoot and destroyed. Having known and accepted Christ, let us live as salt that retains its savor and bear witness to Him. This is what He expects of us.

"And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?" (Luke 18:7, KJV)
Often, it may seem that no matter how much we pray, there is no response from God. It may appear as though God has not heard our prayers even after many days of pleading. This can lead many to feel discouraged at times. However, God not only hears our prayers but also understands the depth of our problems and the turmoil within our hearts. Moreover, He is like a Father to us. Therefore, He will surely answer our prayers and bring us joy.
During the time of Jesus Christ, there were no courts like we have today. Instead, government-appointed judges were stationed in cities. People would bring their cases to these judges, who would then investigate and deliver a verdict. In one of His parables, Jesus compares such a judge to God and shares today’s meditation verse.
About this judge, Jesus says, "There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man." (Luke 18:2, KJV). Such judges existed not only in those days but even today in our country. We see many judges who, swayed by money and power, deny justice to the poor and treat them with contempt. The judge Jesus speaks of was exactly like this.
A widow comes to this judge seeking justice for her case. However, he disregards her plea, thinking, "She is just a widow; there’s nothing she can offer me." So, he ignores her. But she persists, troubling him and demanding justice. Finally, unable to bear her persistence, he investigates her case and delivers a verdict.
Jesus compares this unjust judge to God and asks, "If this unrighteous judge, who neither feared God nor respected man, could grant justice to the widow because of her persistence, how much more will the righteous God answer the prayers of those who cry out to Him day and night?"
If we live a righteous life pleasing to God, we will receive His fitting response to our prayers. The Scripture says, "Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much." (James 5:16, KJV).
Peter advises us, "But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer." (1 Peter 4:7, KJV). Yes, dear friends, the end of our prayer petitions is near. Our God is not unjust. If even an unrighteous judge could heed the persistent cries of a poor widow and grant her justice, how much more will the righteous Judge, God, answer our prayers? Let us remain steadfast in prayer.

"When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I the LORD will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them." (Isaiah 41:17, KJV)
Generally, this world evaluates people based on their economic status, education, and position. Those who lack these things are often considered insignificant by the world. But God is not like that; He does not ignore the cries of the humble. He looks at the inner heart of a person. Therefore, many times, those who are considered insignificant or lowly by the world are highly esteemed in God’s sight.
This truth is reflected in today’s meditation verse: "When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I the LORD will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them."
Here, the phrase "seek water" is metaphorical. It refers to those who are struggling to find a way to survive, feeling helpless and desperate. There are many in this world who are in such a state. God promises to help them when they face such difficulties.
Once, while talking to a friend, he asked me, "You always say that God is loving and merciful, but don’t you see how many poor people are dying of hunger and poverty in this world? If God is loving, why does He allow this?" Unless one’s spiritual eyes are opened, it is difficult to explain such questions. We must believe that God is not unjust; we must trust in His ways.
We see things from a human perspective and cannot always immediately understand God’s plans. Sometimes, God allows individuals or nations to go through periods of hardship for a specific time. This is not permanent. However, God never completely forsakes those who live a life pleasing to Him. This is what today’s meditation verse emphasizes: "I the LORD will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them." There are many examples of this in the Bible.
When God delivered the Israelites from Egypt and led them toward Canaan, they faced many hardships. Yet, for forty years, God guided them, providing for their basic needs—food, meat, and water. As it is written: "Yea, forty years didst thou sustain them in the wilderness, so that they lacked nothing; their clothes waxed not old, and their feet swelled not." (Nehemiah 9:21, KJV)
Yes, dear ones, let us not be discouraged by today’s troubles and hardships. Let us surrender ourselves to live truthfully and righteously before Him. Even if we do not possess the worldly wealth that others enjoy, God will not forsake us. As today’s verse assures us: "When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I the LORD will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them."
Gospel Message: Bro. M. Geo Prakash❤️Our God Cares for Us
- Bro. M. Geo Prakash
The Bible says that our God cares for us. When we care about someone, it means we have a personal concern for them. If we truly care, we will not fail to reach out and inquire about their well-being.
"Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you." (1 Peter 5:7)
A student who dreamed of studying medicine had good marks but could not afford the fees. When her situation was published in the newspapers, a well-known businessman stepped forward to sponsor her education. As a result, she was able to join medical college without any financial worries. The businessman took upon himself all her financial burdens.
In the same way, since God cares for us, He will take care of our burdens. All we need to do is place our trust in Him with faith. If we hold on to Jesus Christ with unwavering faith, He will never forsake us.
The above is just one example. However, God does not want us to place our trust in people. The Bible says:
"It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man." (Psalm 118:8)
People are subject to change. Even those who promise to help us may be unable to fulfil their commitments due to unforeseen circumstances.
God's Care Through a Simple Bird’s Nest
I once read about an incident in the life of a devout Christian engineer. When a highway department was widening a road, he was given the responsibility of cutting down the roadside trees. Under his supervision, trees were being cut and cleared.
When they came near a particular tree, he noticed a bird’s nest among its branches. Out of concern, he asked one of the workers to climb the tree and check the nest. Inside were tiny baby birds.
The engineer, moved with compassion, instructed his team not to cut the tree immediately. He decided to wait for ten to fifteen days so that the birds would have time to leave the nest. Meanwhile, they continued cutting the other trees.
After the waiting period, they returned to cut the tree. That day, the engineer was feeling spiritually discouraged, thinking, "There seems to be no progress in my spiritual life. Problems keep coming one after another."
Out of curiosity, he climbed the tree and looked inside the empty nest before cutting it down. To his surprise, he found a small piece of paper with a Bible verse written on it:
"Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you." (1 Peter 5:7)
It was a Sunday school memory verse written by a child. The bird had unknowingly picked up that paper and used it in its nest. This incident deeply touched the engineer’s heart and brought a great transformation in his spiritual life. He realized that if God could protect a tiny bird’s nest through His Word, how much more would He care for His children in times of distress!
King David’s Faith in God
King David declared with
confidence:
"I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved." (Psalm 16:8)
If we, too, set the Lord before us, we can place all our concerns and worries upon Him and be at peace.
"As for God, his way is
perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust
in him." (Psalm 18:30)
Why Do We Worry?
Today, many of us are burdened with worries. The reason is that we focus more on our circumstances than on God. We often fail to realize that God has the power to change any situation.
Jesus asked:
"Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?" (Matthew 6:27)
Worrying does not change anything. Instead, we must think and act wisely to resolve our concerns.
In Luke 8, we read about a woman afflicted with an issue of blood for twelve years. She had spent all her wealth seeking medical treatment but found no cure. She was filled with worry and despair. But the moment she realized that neither her efforts nor the doctors could heal her, she turned to Jesus Christ. That very day, she received her healing.
This does not mean that seeking medical treatment is wrong. In fact, Jesus Himself said, "They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick." (Matthew 9:12)
Moreover, Luke, the writer of this incident, was a physician. The key lesson here is that although medical treatment is necessary, true healing comes from God.
Victory Belongs to the Lord
The Bible says:
"The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the LORD." (Proverbs 21:31)
Preparing the horse for battle is essential, but victory ultimately comes from God. Similarly, medical care and physical fitness are important, but they alone cannot guarantee good health—God’s grace is needed. Since He cares for us, we must place all our worries and hopes in Him.
God’s Strength in Our Weakness
People often rely only on their strength when they are healthy and successful. They trust in their own abilities. But when faced with illness or unsolvable problems, they turn to God as their last resort.
It is in our weakness that we truly experience God’s power. That is why God told Paul:
"My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness." (2 Corinthians 12:9)
Are you feeling weak today? Are you troubled by sickness, debt, or unsolvable problems? Do you feel overwhelmed by challenges? If so, acknowledge your weakness and surrender to God. It is in your weakness that you will experience His strength.
Trust God Like a Child
Dearly beloved, the Word of God is true. If we receive it with the faith of a little child, we will witness miracles in our lives. All we need to do is surrender our ways and our lives to Him and wait for His intervention.
"Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass." (Psalm 37:5)

"Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in His sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of Him with whom we have to do." (Hebrews 4:13, KJV)
In this world, God is silently observing all our actions. However, we often fail to realize this. Today, humans have used their intellectual abilities to create CCTV cameras. Through these cameras, various thefts and wrongdoings are detected, and the guilty are punished. If human intelligence can create such surveillance tools, imagine how much more powerful God's knowledge must be!
When people know they are being watched, they generally behave well. In many shops and public places, signs like "You are under CCTV surveillance" are displayed. In such places, people tend to act responsibly, fearing punishment if they misbehave.
Beloved, in the same way, God is watching over us. Today's meditation verse warns us: "Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in His sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of Him with whom we have to do." This reminds us that nothing is hidden from God, and we must give an account to Him.
Consider the story of Ananias and Sapphira, who sold their property and kept back part of the money for themselves while presenting the rest to Peter. The money was rightfully theirs, but once they decided to dedicate it to God, it belonged to Him. By withholding a portion, they deceived not man but God. Their action was not hidden from Him, and through the Holy Spirit, God revealed their deceit to Peter. Peter said to Ananias, "Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?" (Acts 5:3, KJV)
Yes, when God judges us by His Word, we cannot deceive Him. "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." (Hebrews 4:12, KJV)
Therefore, let us live our spiritual lives with great care. God watches over us with far greater power than any CCTV camera. When He judges us by His Word, we cannot deceive Him. If we live with this awareness, our lives, words, and actions will be pleasing and distinct in His sight.

"Many waters
cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all
the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned." (Song
of Solomon 8:7, KJV)
These are the words of a true
devotee who loves God deeply. This verse uses profound metaphors to teach us
divine truths.
If we live with genuine love
for God, no suffering or trials can diminish that love. This is beautifully
expressed in the verse: "Many waters cannot quench love, neither
can the floods drown it." The reason is that when we truly love
God, we are assured of His presence with us. As the Lord Himself
promises: "When thou passest through the waters, I will be with
thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest
through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon
thee." (Isaiah 43:2, KJV).
Moreover, for one who is
devoted to God, worldly riches hold no great value. If someone were to approach
a true believer in Christ and say, "Love me," or "Worship the
god I serve, and I will give you money," no matter how much wealth they
offer, the true believer would utterly despise it. This is what the devotee
means when he says, "If a man would give all the substance of his
house for love, it would utterly be contemned."
On the contrary, one who is
devoted to God is willing to give up everything they have to gain Him in their
life. This is what Jesus Christ taught: "Again, the kingdom of
heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found,
he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth
that field." (Matthew 13:44, KJV). Yes, a true believer is
willing to lose all they have to gain God in their life. As today’s meditation
verse says, they will utterly despise all their wealth for the sake of their
love for God.
God desires us to live as this
meditation verse teaches. Even when floods of suffering and problems arise in
our lives, we must have an unshakable love for God, like Job. Secondly, we must
not deny Him for the sake of gaining worldly riches or possessions.
"O Lord, may the many
waters of suffering and problems not diminish my love for You, nor may the
floods drown it. If anyone offers me all the wealth of their house and asks me
to love them or worship other gods, I will utterly despise it." Let
us live with such determination and faithfulness, loving God alone.
