Too much salt causes high blood pressure, or so I am told. Or maybe, Too much salt causes severre headaches via the mechanism of elevated blood pressure.
Is there a spiritual corollary? I wonder.
Have we fallen prey to a lying spirit telling us to take the words of Almighty God "with a grain of salt"?
"Do NOT worry about tomorrow. Your Father knows what you have need of." ... Sorta. Take it with a grain of salt, and hedge your bets, stay up all night trying to cover every contingency. Yup. A bit more palatable with a grain or two of salt. Prudent, too, dontcha know?
"Great peace have they which love Thy law, and nothing shall offend them." ... Sorta. Take that one with a coupla grains of salt. Whoever wrote it obviously didn't have my ________ (kids, bitter half, boss, co-worker, tax bill, banker, in-laws, waistline ...)!!! Why you should just SEE, or worse, HEAR them!!!"
Maybe best to go on a No Spiritual Salt Diet, and act just like it says. Might turn out to bring on less headaches, ya know?
Ummmm ... this does NOT mean to tell that irritating person, "You know what? The Bible's RIGHT!! You're NOTHING, and you're OFFENDING ME RIGHT NOW!!!"
