...a pleasing aroma

           to the LORD.

Numbers 15. 3, 7, 1o, 13, 14

(Repetition of a phrase in scripture

    is a way of emphasizing

    or underlining its importance.

Is a pleasing aroma to God

      that which we seek

      that which we bring to this situation,

      that which lingers long afterward?

Are we searching to be blessed

              or to bless Him and others?

What does that look like today

  in all that we do, say, dwell on,

  our choices and agenda?

Even our attitudes

       are a form of worship.)

O LORD,

Align our hearts with Yours.

Help us to see and respond

         in different ways

         on this sacred ground

that brings You glory

    and points others to You.

May we offer to You today

       what is beautiful

       in Your sight:

to love in impossible places,

pray unceasingly,

worship You in all we do,

be faithful even in the ordinary,

and be known as Yours.
