2days daily bread food for mind, body, and soul, SWEET FRAGRANCE. Some scents are unforgettable. Recently, Cindy Hess Kasper husband mentioned he was running low on shaving cream. Shell pick some up, she offered. Can you get this kind? He asked, showing her the can. He love the smell-its the his dad always used. She smiled, recalling the time she had been momentarily taken to her childhood when she got a whiff of the same shampoo her mom used to wash her hair. For both Tom and Cindy, the fragrances had brought an emotional response and pleasant memory of people we loved who no longer around. Oliver Wendell Holmes said, Memories, imagination, old sentiments, and associations are more readily reached through the sense of smell than through any other channel. So, what if our lives were a fragrance that attracted people to God? Second Corinthians 2:15 says that we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing. Our fragrance is leasing to God, but it also attracts others to Him or repels them. We who understand the sacrifice of Jesus have the opportunity to be the fragrance of Christ- a reminder of Him-to others. The sweet scent of the likeness of the likeness of Christ can be an irresistible pull toward the Savior. Let my hands perform His bidding. Let my feet run in His ways, Let my eyes see Jesus only, Let my lips speak forth His praise. When we walk with God, we leave behind a sweet fragrance that can inspire others to follow. Todays chapter and verses to read, Ill post them. 2 Corinthians 2:12-17. Triumph in Christ 12 Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christs gospel, and a door was opened to me by The Lord, 13 I had no rest in my spirit, because I did not find Titus my brother; but taking my leave of them, I departed for Macedonia. 14 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. 15 For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those perishing. 16 To the one we are the aroma of death leading to death, and to the other aroma of life leading to life. And who is sufficient for these things? 17 For we are not, as so many, peddling the word of God; but as of sincerity, but as from God, we speak in the sight of God in Christ. God be and bless you all!
