Mmmm, Smells Great!
Our children often exclaim “It smells like Grandma’s!” when we walk through the door of our home after morning worship with the people of God. The aroma of slow cooked meat, potatoes, and vegetable wafts through the door evokes warm memories and brings a smile to every face. It is amazing to see how, in almost any circumstance, the whiff of great-smelling food transforms attitudes and even behaviors of those hoping to partake of its pleasure.
We have a Savior who delighted to obey, and our salvation hangs on his obedience! His righteousness is now ours by imputation through faith in Christ. We have also been given the same Holy Spirit so that we too might breath in and savor the fear of the LORD. May it be that as we hear the word of God, the fear of God would fill our nostrils, overwhelm our senses with delight, and transform our lives.
