We take salt for granted. But in Mark 9:42-10:16 we get a glimpse of how valuable it was to Jesus' followers and can be to us. Jesus told them, "Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another."
So what does this mean? I see a clue in Colossians 4:6. " Let your speech always be with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you should respond to each person." Paul is encouraging his followers to be wise, courageous and to make the most of each opportunity with unbelievers. And we can only do that through God's grace that makes our words tasty.

Lord make us salty so that others will find our words and actions appealing. Attract them to You, Father.
