We've been enjoying two weeks of heavenly Easter Lily fragrance in the house.
Sweet, pervasive, delightful, unmistakable.
I linger near the glass top table where the plant and its six blossoms dazzle my olfactory senses.
Amazing how incredibly pleasing this can be.
From the earliest days of our spiritual ancestry, God instructed Moses to use incense in worship.
Exodus 30:7
"and when Aaron sets up the lamps at twilight, he shall burn it, a regular incense offering before the Lord throughout your generations."
And in the new testament, Paul drew the fragrant comparison of our own lives before God,
2Corinthians 2:15
"For we are to God the pleasing aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing."
I want to believe that God can find something about my life that is as pleasing to Him as the pure fragrance of this lily is to me.
But as this scripture says, in Christ, we are just that.
What do you believe?
