Scripture Reading

Matthew 5:12–22 (KJV)

12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

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.

14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.

16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

21 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:

22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment…

Ponder This

World Changers,

Our Father is calling us to live from who we already are - salt and light. This is not about outward performance, but inward transformation. Jesus shows us that true righteousness begins in the heart, not just in our actions. When our hearts are aligned with Him, our lives will supernaturally shine and reflect His love.

Prayer

Our Father, thank You for reminding us who we are: salt and light in this world. Help us not to hide what You have placed within us. Search our hearts and remove anything that does not reflect You. Thank You for teaching us to live from the inside out, so our lives bring glory to You. We choose to shine, we choose to love, and we choose true righteousness. In the name of Jesus. Amen.

You are His light - Shine!!!
