Exodus 30 - The Fragrance His Presence Brings

Life Lesson (verse Exodus 30:6)

The Father is present wherever we may be so let’s turn our hearts to consciously seek and be more aware of His presence.

Life Lesson (verse Exodus 30:10)

The answers to your prayers can be in found in your prayers for others.

Life Lesson (verse Exodus 30:21)

The Word of God is a cleansing agent for us in the muck and mire of the day.

Exodus 29:45-46 NKJV

45 I will dwell among the children of Israel and will be their God. 46 And they shall know that I am the Lord their God, who brought them up out of the land of Egypt, that I may dwell among them. I am the Lord their God.

“It isn't that we need to come into the presence of God; it's that we need to become more aware of the presence of God wherever we may be. I think that one of the greatest needs of the Christian experience and in the Christian life is to become more conscious of God's all-pervading presence. And at the times when you least feel like it, He is there. In the time when you're feeling the rottenest, He is there. In the time you're feeling most desolate, He is there. The most forsaken, He is there.” – Chuck Smith

Psalms 141:2 NKJV

Let my prayer be set before You as incense,
The lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.

Revelation 5:8 NKJV

Now when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.

Hebrews 7:24-25 NKJV

24 But He, because He continues forever, has an unchangeable priesthood. 25 Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.

Ephesians 5:25-26 NKJV

25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, 26 that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word,

John 15:3 NKJV

You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.

James 1:22-25 NKJV

22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; 24 for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. 25 But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.

2 Corinthians 2:15-16 NLT

15 Our lives are a Christ-like fragrance rising up to God. But this fragrance is perceived differently by those who are being saved and by those who are perishing. 16 To those who are perishing, we are a dreadful smell of death and doom. But to those who are being saved, we are a life-giving perfume.
