When I was younger, there was a well known commercial on billboards and road signs. (yes we had tv back then) They showed a little girl carrying a large container of Morton salt that had been treated with magnesium carbonate which allowed the salt to remain dry in humid conditions but did not change the favor. The salt would pour out of the container instead of clumping in the bags their competitors used. So that expression (When it rains, it pours) has always had the connotation of a good thing to me.
I guess that is a good thing because the troubles of this world can heap up on you, dog piling you unmercifully. Jesus promised that He would never leave us and I take that to mean that if and when troubles come our way we can know for sure and for certain that Jesus is keenly aware of our plight. He is there with us as we go through what ever is happening to us. He is sort of the additive in the life of a Christ follower that allows them to pour out despite adversity instead of clumping up in a wet sack of despair.
So when the cloud burst of trouble hits you, grab your umbrella and let your favor season the situation. You are the salt of the world.
so what you’re saying is that Jesus is magnesium carbonate?
