Exodus 29:25 says, Then you shall take them from their hands, and offer them up in smoke on the altar on the burnt offering for a soothing aroma before the Lord; it is an offering by fire to the Lord. In Exodus God wanted a pleasant aroma to be burnt for him.
later in exodus 30:34-37 it says, 34 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Take for yourself spices—stacte, onycha, and galbanum, spices and pure frankincense; there shall be an equal part of each. 35 You shall make incense from it all, a skillful mixture, the work of a perfumer, salted, pure, and holy. 36 And you shall crush some of it very fine, and put part of it in front of the testimony in the tent of meeting where I will meet with you; it shall be most holy to you. 37 And the incense which you shall make, you shall not make in the same proportions for yourselves; it shall be holy to you for the Lord. God wanted Moses to smell god and the aroma to pleasing to Him.
Do you smell or is your aroma unpleasant to God? Is the smell that is coming out of you pleasing to God. God was talking about incense and of burnt offerings in exodus 29 and 30 but I believe it can be applied to our lives. God wanted Arron and His son to smell and to be holy as well as moses. So, when we smell ourselves are we is our smell to God. God wants us to be holy to. if you smell of booze, sin, drugs, hate, or anything else displeasing to God to have an aroma that is pleasing to God. No, you don't but if you ask forgiveness and clean yourself. Exodus 30:19 it says Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet from it;
you change the way you smell and can have a pleasing aroma to God once more. the Aroma that is pleasing to God is different for each person. You smell can be seen by others. This is because it is the fruit of your actions.
So, to end today Create an aroma that is pleasing to God. how do you do this? Turn from sin, from this displeasing to God, take a shower and put on the fragrance of God. the fragrance of God is different for each person it can be serving, teaching, peace and love, strength, praying spirit, it can be anything that please God. so let the aroma you have drip off you like a flowing river and let people see the Aroma that is pleasing to God today.
