Sweet Smell of Knowledge A HEBREW SAGE MIGHT SAY. . . Guard well your thoughts, because they control you. SWEET SMELL OF KNOWLEDGE Now thanks be to GOD WHO always leads us in triumph in CHRIST, and through us diffuses the fragrance of HIS knowledge in every place. [2 Corinthians 2. 14] There is a special sweet fragrance that is dispersed and spreads throughout the world, which comes from redeemed ones living a CHRIST-filled life. For we are to GOD the aroma of CHRIST among those who are being saved and those who are perishing. To the one we are the smell of death; to the other, the fragrance of life. And who is equal to such a task? Unlike so many, we do not peddle the WORD OF GOD for profit. On the contrary, in CHRIST we speak before GOD with sincerity, like men sent from GOD. [2 Corinthians 2. 15 - 17] In an acrostic poem, the delightful psalmist encouragingly persuades us to, Taste and see how good the LORD is; blessed is the man who takes refuge in HIM! Fear the LORD, you his consecrated ones, for those who fear HIM lack nothing...those who seek the LORD lack no good thing. [Psalms (Tehillym) 34. 9 – 10 Tanakh, Kethuvim] From Solomons Song of Songs, the sweet ROSE OF SHARON, the LILY OF THE VALLEYS— my perfume gave forth its fragrance. My beloved is to me a sachet of myrrh resting between my breasts. My beloved to me is a spray of henna blooms from the vineyards of En-Gedi. [Song of Songs (Shir haShirim) 1. 12 – 14 Tanakh, Kethuvim] Like an offering before the LORD, we are to be an offering of pleasing odor to the LORD our GOD. When I bring you out from the peoples and gather you out of the lands in which you are scattered, I will accept you as a sweet and pleasing aroma and I will be sanctified in you before the Gentiles. Then, when I have brought you into the land of Israel, to the country for which I lifted MY hand in an oath to give to your fathers, you shall know that I am the LORD. There you shall remember your ways and all the acts by which you defiled yourselves; and you shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for all the evils that you have committed. Then, O House of Israel, you shall know that I am the LORD, when I deal with you for MY NAMES sake —not in accordance with your wicked ways and your corrupt acts— declares the LORD GOD. [Ezekiel (Yehezke-El) 20. 41 – 44 Tanakh, Neviim] Therefore be followers of GOD as dear children. And walk in love, as CHRIST also has loved us and given HIMSELF for us, an offering and a sacrifice to GOD for a sweet-smelling aroma. [Ephesians 5. 1 - 2] Know that your gifts are fruits to your account, a sweet-smelling aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to GOD. Assuredly, my GOD shall supply all your need according to HIS riches in glory by CHRIST JESUS. Now to our GOD and FATHER be glory forever and ever, Amen [Philippians 4. 19 - 20] Daily offer sacrifices of sweet aroma to the precious GOD OF HEAVEN, for HE is praiseworthy. Shaalu (Pray) for the Shalom (Peace) of Jerusalem and all of Israel! All glory and praise to GOD ALMIGHTY for HE is our SURE HOPE in the days of evil. HE will not let us be put to shame not allow us to be dismayed. Beyond doubt, our SAVIOR is worthy of praise and glory without end! Praying for the peace of Jerusalem, is praying for the return of our Messiah and Lord and for the Kingdom of God He is bringing when He comes. Then Gods Will shall be done on earth as it is in Heaven and the world will experience true godly universal peace which is the fruit of Righteousness.
