Salt in new bowl

2 Kings 2:19-25
Jericho city was cursed by Joshua, (6:24, 1 King 16:34). City's water is healed by the Lord through Elisha using salt in new bowl.
The boy might be any age, there were young men, local louts, yelling abuse at the prophet and his God, telling him to 'Go up' like Elijah.
These a few things are evidence for the reader that God has indeed empowered Elisha.
Why?
Salt is very cheap and common material, but it could heal the water and prevent corrupt and rot. Jesus asked us to be salt in this world.
New bowl, we have to be a new bowl that let the new life comes upon us.
New life from Jesus comes to me and we pour out the salt of life to this world.
When we have the life of the Lord, everyone has the power like Elisha, be aware of what we are talking.
How?
Dear Lord, please empower me, let my life could be like salt to this world around me.
