Text: Numbers 6:22-27 King James Version (KJV)
22. And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
23. Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto them,
24. The Lord bless thee, and keep thee:
25. The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:
26. The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
27. And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel, and I will bless them.

I once heard Benny Hinn say what I am about to share with you. He said in a particular Christian conference, a man came up in the morning session to sing a song titled “The Lord is My Shepherd” and when he was done, the ovation was thunderous. During the evening session, an older man came up to do the same song, by the time he was through, there was serious weeping all over the hall and people could not understand, because it was the same song they both sang. When the older man was asked why the difference, he said the other man knows the song, but he knew the Shepherd.
CONTEMPLATION
When people spend time with you what do they leave with? Do you think they got better or worse? It is true that you can’t give what you don’t have, and only the original will last. By the fragrance of God, many like Noah, Abraham, Joseph, Moses, Elijah and others, were able to positively affect their generation for God. If you are able to spend quality time in the presence of God on a continuous note, you are bound to accomplish great things to His glory. It is in the presence of God your abilities and grace to excel are released upon you. Don’t look for excuses, just do it.

PRACTICAL ISSUES
When Daniel and his friends denied themselves the meat that was dedicated to the gods of Babylon, they consecrated themselves to God and became outstanding in their generation. What do you need to give up to carry the fragrance of glory?
