Many years later, it dawned upon me that these are “The Beautiful Attitudes” that describe the inner character as fully devoted followers of Christ. After reading this chapter multiple times I desired to be salt and light.

I recall many years ago when we were packing up from a weekend away. To avoid traffic, we would sometimes stay Sunday night and leave at 3:30 in the morning to return to work and avoid traffic.

Shaking salt and shining light are to be done simultaneously. The salt is needed to add spice to where your light is meant to shine. Good works are actions that God has commanded, and we need to be sure that we have prayed about what we should be doing.
