"Mmm... Sacrifice!"
"If you wake me each morning with the sound of your loving voice,
I'll go to sleep each night trusting in you." Psalms 143:8 (MSG)
There is something about praying to God and hearing His voice in the morning. The moment we wake up, take a step out of our bed, and get ready to worship and pray to God VERY early in the morning an ODOR is released into the nose of God and one thought comes to His mind "Mmm... Sacrifice!" In this verse we see the psalmist speaking to God and telling Him if the sound of God's loving voice would wake him each morning then will he go to sleep each night trusting in Him. When we seek God early God gives us the strength and faith to believe in everything He has promised us! Waking up early to seek God in morning prayer is something that He LOVES. This reminds me of another verse.
"I love those who love me, and those who seek me early and diligently shall find me."
Proverbs 8:17 (AMP)
God smelling the sweet scent of sacrifice when you wake up early to seek Him is similar to us waking up on a beautiful sunny day with the smell of your favorite home made pancakes. I am on a mission to seek God as much as I can early in morning prayer because I know He loves it. I hope this encourages you to do the same. Remember when you are getting out of your bed and getting ready to pray, you are releasing a sweet sweet aroma into the nose of God. How great is that!
Thank you! Very appreciated :)
