— Ezra 7:22
What a profound analogy—comparing the indispensable nature of salt in offerings to the essentiality of divine grace in the soul. Salt’s preserving and purifying qualities symbolize the grace of God within us.
Reflecting on the lavishness with which King Artaxerxes gave salt to Ezra, it’s a vivid reminder of God’s limitless grace. There’s never a shortage when the King of kings bestows grace upon His royal priesthood. Unlike material things that might have limits, the supply of God’s grace is inexhaustible. Scripture assures us: “Ask and it shall be given unto thee.”
Just as parents control access to certain treats, there’s no need to limit the grace of God. We can’t overdose on it. While too much wealth or honor might bring complications, an abundance of grace only yields joy. A person cannot be too full of grace; there’s no such thing as an overflow of grace leading to negative consequences.
Therefore, let’s approach the throne of grace seeking a copious supply of heavenly salt. It flavors our trials, preserves our hearts, and eradicates our sins. We need much grace, and God is more than willing to provide an abundance of it to those who seek it earnestly.
