Becoming SALT Devotional - July 7

The Covenant of Salt

Read: Numbers 18

Key Verse: Numbers 18:19

Reflection Prompt: Reflecting on yesterday’s worship experience, what did you take away? How did the message, music, or moments of worship help you experience God's faithfulness or awaken your heart to His promises?

Context & Explanation: In Numbers 18:19, God assures Aaron and his descendants of His faithful provision through the offerings of Israel, calling it a “covenant of salt.” In ancient times, salt was used to signify enduring, binding agreements. It preserved food and symbolized incorruptibility. This covenant of salt pointed to God’s unwavering
commitment to sustain His priests and preserve His promises. For believers today, it reminds us that God’s covenant with us through Jesus is unbreakable, sustaining, and full of grace—meant to be lived out with faithfulness and trust in His provision.

Inductive Questions:
  • How does God’s covenant of salt with Aaron reflect His desire to provide and preserve
  • What does this kind of promise teach us about God’s reliability and generosity?
  • In what ways are you called to respond to God’s faithfulness in your everyday life?

Prayer: Lord, thank You for Your everlasting covenant. Help me to be faithful in my walk with You, just as You are faithful to me.

Reflection: I will respond to God’s covenant faithfulness today by ___________. I humbly pray in Jesus’ name, Amen.
