Verse of the day: Go out at will. (Ezra 7. 22)
Salt was used in all burnt offerings to the Lord. For its preservative and purifying properties, salt was a symbol of divine grace in the heart. It deserves our attention that when Artaxerxes gave salt to Ezra, the priest, he did not set a limit on the quantity (see Ezra 6: 9). We can be sure that the king of kings, by distributing his graces among the participants of the royal priesthood, does not diminish the amount offered. We are often limited in ourselves, but we are never limited in the Lord. Whoever decides to collect a lot of mana will find that he can have as much as he wants. In Jerusalem, there are no times of famine when citizens have to eat their rationed bread and drink their water to a certain extent. Some things in the economy of grace are measured; for example, our vinegar and gall are given to us with such precision that we never have a drop again, but the salt of grace is not limited. “Whatever you ask of God, will God grant it to you?” (John 11:22). Parents should seal the candy bowls, but they do not need to close and hide the salt bowls as their children will not eat the salt with enthusiasm. A man may have too much money, as well as too much honor, but he cannot have too much of God’s grace. Jesurum, are you getting fat? hit? (Deuteronomy 32. 15) against God, but there is no possibility of man becoming too gracious. It is impossible to be too funny. More wealth brings more worries; however, more grace brings more joy. More wisdom is more pain, but the abundance of the Spirit is the fullness of joy. Believer, seek the throne of God, imploring with it a sufficient supply of heavenly salt. It will temper your afflictions, which are tasteless without salt. It will preserve your heart from corruption and kill your sins as salt kills reptiles. You need a lot. Search a lot and you will get a lot.
