The Salt of the Earth

THE Lord blesses some men for the sake of others. He blessed Isaac for Abraham's sake. He sent prosperity to the house of Potiphar for the sake of Joseph. His blessing was on all the land of Egypt because of his servant Joseph. There was prosperity in Babylon for the sake of Daniel. All on board the ship which was wrecked in the Mediterranean Sea were delivered because Paul was among them. It is a good thing to have a good man on board in time of trouble. One man in the community who lives near to God is a great blessing to his neighbors. One good man in a city will bring down the blessing of heaven on all the people. The Lord told Abraham that he would spare Sodom if he could find ten righteous men in it. Men and women of God are the salt of the earth. Blessed is the man who lives so near to God as to bring a blessing to all those who are about him.—Christian Advocate.
