We carry a spiritual scent with us wherever we go...
2 Corinthians 2.14-15- But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere. 15 For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing.

The question is: Do we stink? Do we carry a presence with us like the rest of the world? A lot of stuff in this old world stinks. OR
Are we triumphing in the Lord, proceeding on His Path, spreading a scent of freshness with a welcoming aroma in our personalities and our conversation and our presentation? It is an important question. There are people that need the Lord around us and we are to be a witness to them. There are also people around us who are Christians and need encouragement.
In Biblical days fragrant incenses were often used in worship in an attempt to attract the 'nostrils of the Lord' so that He would come and hear their prayers. Now we are to spread the fragrance of the Lord and influence others for Him.
Let's be freshly fragrant for the Lord today, and have a blessed one!
