“Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children. Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ. He loved us and offered himself as a sacrifice for us, a pleasing aroma to God.”Ephesians 5:1-2 NLT
When we reach deeply for praise and worship to the Lord in trial and temptation we offer a fragrant offering to the Lord. Some of these trails are excruciatingly painful emotionally. The pain is deep in places seldom visited. Yet when we release our praise and worship instead of self-pity and complaining the Lord is most blessed.
Jesus reached this place in the garden before His crucifixion. His pain was so deep He sweated large drops, like drops of blood. However, He said to the Father, “not my will but Your will be done”.
Let us make an offering that is fragrant. This fragrance fills heaven and it also fills the world around us. Amen!
