REMEMBER the Sweet and Good things God has done for us and don’t return to the foul experiences of the past.
We forgot something recently in our home that caused a bad odour to develop in an unused bathroom. The trap in a shower dried out because no water was flowing into it. IS THERE ANYTHING OF GOD FLOWING INTO OUR LIVES, OR ARE WE BECOMING DRIED OUT?
The more of God that flows in our lives, the sweeter the Fragrance that will be released. Conversely, less of God, His Spirit and His Word and we will in time begin to release something different.
3 Then Mary took about half a litre of pure nard, an expensive perfume; she poured it on Jesus’ feet and wiped his feet with her hair. AND THE HOUSE WAS FILLED WITH THE FRAGRANCE OF THE PERFUME. John 12
Mary released something beautiful that Filled the House, everyone present at the dinner would have been aware of the beautiful scent. Mary had given something precious to the Lord as He approached the crucifixion. It was a wonderful demonstration of her love for Him and is forever recorded in God’s Word for generations to read. (It will never be forgotten) Could God be asking someone today to pour out something from their lives that would honour what He’s done for them? We all have things to give, perhaps a sacrifice is required, but it was the coming sacrifice that released the beautiful fragrance.
28 Peter said to him, ‘We have left all we had to follow you!’
29 ‘Truly I tell you,’ Jesus said to them, ‘no one who has left home or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God 30 will fail to receive many times as much in this age, and in the age to come eternal life.’ Luke 18
Whatever we lay down for the Lord in this life, even a cup of water will receive a reward Matthew 10:42, Mark 9:41. Heaven is looking for things that can be credited to our account, ‘in this age and in the one to come’.
It’s so important that we keep the Life of God flowing in our lives and don’t become stale in our walk with our Lord. Mary and the disciples gave up much to be with the Lord and their sacrifice was recorded by Heaven.
