What's That Smell

But thanks be to God, who always leads us as captives in Christ’s triumphal procession and uses us to spread the aroma of the knowledge of him everywhere. For we are to God the pleasing aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing.

- 2 Corinthians 2:14

There’s just something about Christians that allows them to stand out among the world’s population…whether they know it or not. Their walk, talk, and conduct all provide Kingdom reference points (good or bad) for all to observe/witness to the point where God’s fragrance ought to ooze out of their every action. While the world attempts to discern “your” fragrance, it’s pondering openly and secretly about “what’s that smell” that’s emitting from your general direction. So ask yourself whether or not you reek of worldly odor full of flesh/carnality or do you have a sweet Spirit-filled aroma that draws others close to God? Know that you may be the first or last encounter the world and its people have in regards to any/all things pertaining to God, His Kingdom, and His salvation…that said what you do or fail to do has lasting impacts upon God’s people - Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven (Matthew 5:16, NKJV). Today be that good, pleasant, and pleasing smell of God’s righteousness that draws His people closer to Him…then watch God’s glory manifest in your works.

BE BLESSED!
