Personal Story Of The Day
Just Right
'Use By' dates are printed on just about everything nowadays, even on lemonade cans. One place you will not find an expiration date, however, is on salt. Ever hear anyone say, "This salt tastes old. It must not be very fresh"? Probably not. Salt never goes stale. Jesus said, "Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned? It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out." (vv. 34-35).
If there is no such thing as fresh or stale salt, how could Jesus say this?
There are two ways salt can lose its saltiness. One is by dilution, the other by pollution. Put some salt in a glass and add water. Stir, taste, and then add more water. The more you dilute the salt, the less you will taste it. Soon it has no value as salt. Or, take some salt and add to it other things. Continue to mix in things, polluting the salt, and eventually you will not notice the salt. Its saltiness is lost to the pollution.
The church members are to be the "salt of the earth" (Matt 5:13), but our saltiness can be lost the same way.
Our testimony can be so diluted, it loses its saltiness (too much world and not enough Lord), or too many interests can come into our lives that our testimony is lost due to pollution (too much world and not enough Lord). Salt helps lift the flavour of food and brings out the taste which is otherwise hidden... that is what your testimony of God's power offers others.
However, too much salt kills the true taste and is very unpleasant. Stay salty and scripturally humble... that is what Jesus wants.

A blonde is terribly overweight, so her doctor put her on a diet. "I want you to eat regularly for 2 days, then skip a day, and repeat this procedure for 2 weeks. The next time I see you, you'll have lost at least 5 pounds."
When the blonde returned, she shocked the doctor by losing nearly 20 pounds.
"Why, that's amazing!" the doctor said, "Did you follow my instructions?"
The blonde nodded... "I'll tell you though, I thought I was going to drop dead that 3rd day."
"From hunger, you mean?", asked the doctor."
"No, from skipping."

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Job Never Abandons His Belief In God.
I cry unto thee, and thou dost not hear me: Job 30:20. References from Job 30:1-31.
When we hear Job's despair in today's verses, we see clearly how forsaken and desperate that Job felt when he believed that God had abandoned him. What a contrast to his reflection of how his life had once been that we read about yesterday.
How difficult it must have been to be mocked and ridiculed by those who formerly would have shown well deserved respect to Job. The very dregs of the community, whose fathers had been shunned from decent society, now spit upon Job in disdain (v10).
Remember from yesterday's study that Job went out of his way to help the less fortunate. The bitter irony that some of these same individuals now refused to show Job any compassion, no doubt only increased his pain.
The cruelty that Job experienced from his own community was in addition to the chronic physical pain that had come to define Job's existence (v16-17). Job is more than willing to point the finger squarely at God to explain his condition.
Moreover, the sheer horror of his perception that he has been utterly abandoned by the Lord comes to its fullest expression (v20-23). Notice that even in his accusations, Job doesn't deny the Lord. Though he wrongly attributes malicious actions and motives to God, he still directs his anguish to Him.
Then said Boaz unto Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither go from hence, but abide here fast by my maidens: Ruth 2:8.
If you were to ask a dairy farmer how a cow gets lost, chances are he would reply, "Well, the cow starts nibbling on a tuft of green grass, and when it finishes, it looks ahead to the next tuft of green grass. After it finishes that one, it looks ahead and starts nibbling on the next one, and then it nibbles on some grass right next to a hole in the fence.
When it sees another tuft of green grass on the other side of the fence, it nibbles on that one and then another one and the next thing you know, the cow has nibbled itself lost."
Boaz knew how easy it was to drift into danger. His fear for Ruth was that she might wander into the field of some unscrupulous person who would take advantage of her. Therefore he admonished her, "Stay close by my young women." In other words, don't stray from the company of my female workers and you'll be safe. Sin works on the same principle.
Seldom does Satan open a big hole in the fence for us to dash through into sin. He always begins by tempting us with a little "tuft of sin," and that's followed by a bit bigger one, and another one, until we lift our heads and realise we have nibbled ourselves far from God. Bite by bite, we have wandered away until we're lost.
If you find yourself in that situation today, do two things. Stop right were you are and look around to see where God is. Then, take comfort. The One who loves you more than anything else in the world has come to "seek and to save that which was lost" (Luke 19:10). Get help from a family (church) member, they will care... they will protect and uplift you.
As a point of interest, 'Boaz' means 'in strength and by strength'... bit by bit in the right direction.
