For those who wonder, i have several reasons for calling readers of my devotions, The Salt Shakers. For one, the name comes from Jesus during the Sermon of the Mount, telling us we are the salt of the earth (Matt. 5:13) - salt that preserves His Word and makes Him desirable to others.
Also, I had read and liked what the footnote of my NIV Bible for Leviticus 2:13 says... "offerings were seasoned with salt as a reminder of the people's covenant with God. Salt is a good symbol of God's activity in a person's life, because it penetrates, preserves, and aids in healing. God want to be active in your life. Let Him become part of you, penetrating every aspect of your life, preserving you from the evil all around, and healing you of your sins and shortcomings."
Thank you Veneal. I read and appreciate your devotions. Hope I'm salt!
ReplyDeleteGood Morning, Veneal,
ReplyDeleteI am Ashley Cooper's mom, and I want to thank you for including me in your devotions. I read them first thing every morning, and they are always so insightful and uplifting. It is wonderful to know that Ashley has such a wonderful example and friend in you. I pray that God will continue to bless you and your ministry.

Thank you, Veneal. I have been reading your devotions every morning for many years. Somehow they always hit home in where I am that very moment. Thank you for this ministry and may God continue to bless you.
ReplyDeleteI also love that you're a media specialist. I just became one and am struggling through.
