December 23.    James ch 3- 1Peter ch1

THE SMELL OF HIS PRESENCE

Joy:

[11] You will make known to me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasures forever.

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭16:11‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

Boldness:

[10] Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’     Isaiah‬ ‭41:10‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

Guidance:

[8] I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go; I will counsel you with My eye upon you.

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭32:8‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

Wisdom:

[5] “See, I have taught you statutes and judgments just as the Lord my God commanded me, that you should do thus in the land where you are entering to possess it. [6] So keep and do them, for that is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples who will hear all these statutes and say, ‘Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.’ [7] For what great nation is there that has a god so near to it as is the Lord our God whenever we call on Him? 

‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭4:5‭-‬7‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

A change of heart:

[26] Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. [27] I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will be careful to observe My ordinances. 

‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭36:26‭-‬27‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

Favour:

[21] But the Lord was with Joseph and extended kindness to him, and gave him favor in the sight of the chief jailer. 

‭‭Genesis‬ ‭39:21‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

Conviction:

[10] Now David’s heart troubled him after he had numbered the people. So David said to the Lord, “I have sinned greatly in what I have done. But now, O Lord, please take away the iniquity of Your servant, for I have acted very foolishly.” 

‭‭2 Samuel‬ ‭24:10‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

GOOD DAY: These are the oils of God's presence with a person. Although God is unseen, these oils are felt by everyone at various times though we do not give Him credit. Makers of perfume experiment with a mixture of many oils to get the fragrance that they desire. God mixes some of these fragrances above to get the desired aroma that He wants at a particular time. We shall take each of them one by one and look into them so we can make them the crowning of our prayer requests and goals for 2024.

PRAY: Lord, open my heart that iay discern Your presence with me.
