Today we had a missionary at our church and his sermon for church time was the idea of how we smell to God.
He started in the Old Testament and was talking about the different sacrifices that were to be made to God. Now when the people did it right. God was pleased and the offering had a sweet smell to the Lord. Even though to the people and the priest it must have smelled bad, to the Lord it was a sweet smell because the people did it out of obedience.
But if the people gave a sacrifice of an unclean animal, or an animal that was blemished the Lord was not happy with the sacrifice and it was not a sweet smell to Him.
Then the missionary went on and asked us how we smelled to the Lord. Do we have a sweet smell to Him because of being obedient and doing all He asks with the right attitude.
How about you? How are you smelling to the Lord and those around you?
