Holy Perfume To Give Out God's Goodness

B. Onycha, a base for making perfume. This had to have us rejoice. We take time to recall all our benefits and let our hearts respond with thankfulness. How can one be so quiet when asked to share what God has blessed us with this last week or year? C. Galbanum takes us into a spirit of reverence. This is time we spend to comprehend and measure the greatness of God. Most and above all He is Holy. We can’t be superficial, negative, and disrespectful as we take time to think on who God is.

D. Frankincense has the meaning of delightful wonder. This disperses a strong fragrance in burning. In our worship we take time to wonder about who God is and what is taking place. If we cease to wonder in this time we will not be able to worship in a real way. It was this that was brought by the wise men to worship Jesus. They brought presents to worship a King. Think of the song “How Great Thou Art.” When this worship was done back in Exodus the perfume or oil would ascend to God with a sweet aroma to bring him honor and glory. It brought him pleasure. So as we gather to this time of partaking of the Lord’s Supper it brings him pleasure to enjoy the worship of His children. May we leave this service to be a sweet smelling fragrance to a world that is lost and make it better because we are spreading the smell of God’s Holiness?
