Yesterday morning as I was walking Jazz I kept smelling something sweet. Every time I would smell it I would smile and wonder what is that? Then I began to notice all the magnolia trees that were blooming along our walking route.
As I thought about this I got a picture of God smelling the sweet savor of our praise. I could just see him smiling as he focused on the one praising him. I want to be one of those who remembers to praise him everyday and frequently during the day. I have so much to be grateful for.
Then this morning as I was reading I found this verse:
Phil 4:18
18 But I have [your full payment] and more; I have everything I need and am amply supplied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent me. [They are the] fragrant odor of an offering and sacrifice which God welcomes and in which He delights.
AMP
In this verse Paul says that their offering to him was a sweet fragrance to God.
I want my life to be a sweet fragrance to Him.
Very good Pastor Debbie.
