Historically, salt has been used to facilitate Healing and Preservation as applied to treatment of body injuries and food preservation. In our theme scripture, Jesus calls the believer the salt of the earth. This is a special calling of every child of God. You are called to be a preserver of lives of men. Your calling is not to destroy others. Don't use whatever power you have to harm others. The Lord Jesus reprimanded His disciples in Luke 9:55, "Ye know not what manner of men you are". They wanted the Lord to pray down fire from heaven to burn those who didn't receive the message. Your life stand for the healing and preservation of others. Make sure that even your words minister grace to your hearers (Ephesians 4:29). Proverbs 12:18 (NLT) says "Some people make cutting remarks, but the words of the wise bring healing". Don't speak words that injure others and destroy their good self-image. Do you know the presence of a believer means cover for others? David told Abiathar, "Stay with me; don't be afraid. The man who wants to kill you is trying to kill me too. You will be safe with me." (1 Samuel 22:23 NIV). God designed you to be a covering for others just like Joseph's life stood for the preservation of many lives (Genesis 45:7). A child of God should even be the best environment and natural resource preservers (Proverbs 12:10) and not a destroyer. You are designed by God to heal and preserve. Live out and fulfil your calling as the salt of this earth.
