BOX OF BLESSING!

Sometimes a gift box has its own blessing!

Looking forward to showing you the wisdom for me in this gift!

True wisdom is "rare" and comes from God's word!

God's Word.....a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. 

(Psalm 119:105)

Just 4 letters to help my short term memory focus! Not a random focus but one that is meant for me as a believer. Think "Believer's Apothecary" with a great acrostic.

Come back next Wordsmith Wednesday to see the gift that encourages me to continue to do small things that God leads me to do so they become great things In His name for His glory and my good as I have ways to serve others even if limited!

SWEET AROMA

12/30/13

Charles Haddon Spurgeon said, "Prayers of God's people are as sweet to Him as incense, even though we come before Him unfit to pray." He calls the Holy Spirit the "Believer's Apothecary." (my Bible marginalia) Prayers "dispensed" by the Spirit seem to me to be the prayers with the sweet aroma that pleases the Lord.

In Revelation 5:8 one is reminded of that aroma of believers' prayers...."and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints."

Twelve Christmases ago, I received a gift with a special tag. So special, it still resides in my NIV Bible. Everytime I see it, I meditate on the scripture because I'm convicted of my responsibility as a Christian to be a fragrance of Christ to the world and to the Lord as I pray for others in the household of faith.

 An "aroma from life to life" from one believer to another.

For we are to God the pleasing aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing.....(2 Corinthians 2:15)

Incense. A sweet aroma that comes from Him.
