Salt

“Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time. Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to speak” (Colossians 4:5-6).

Too much salt makes the food unpalatable. Too little salt makes the food bland and undesirable. We are faced with a creative challenge when sharing God’s message to people. We need to avoid coming on too strongly or not strong enough. Is it any surprise that we need the Holy Spirit to direct us?
