You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.
- Matthew 5:14-16

Lord Jesus, thank You for Your sermon on the mount which is full of wisdom and loving instruction! Help me to be salt and light, neither losing my saltiness nor hiding my light under a basket. Let me be effective for Your kingdom! Amen.
