Power of Humility: We are chosen and set apart as the “Salt and Light” of the world. If we must shine the Light and preserve the world as salt, we must be clothed with patience and humility, in order to also reign in dominion as “Kings and priests” Jesus is our example as Light and Salt. The Light shines and darkness cannot comprehend the Light. John 1:5 NKJV. Jesus is also the Word that serves as salt and preservative of the world.
““You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5:13-16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬.
“But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: “God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.”” James‬ ‭4:6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
