A Sweet Fragrance ~

"Majesty, Majesty, Your grace has covered all of my sin..."

The sweet fragrance rose up and floated into the Holy of Holies. We started our journey in the Outer Courts as we worshiped this past Sunday during a worship service and moved from the Holy Place to the Holy of Holies. Worthy of all our praise, the shed blood of our Savior, Jesus Christ, now amazingly allows us to dwell in the most holy place. No longer are we only allowed to visit like the priests in the Old Testament, we may now dwell in His temple.

~Most often we visit the places we were meant to dwell and dwell in the places we were meant to visit.~

This past month we have taken a journey through the tabernacle, of the Isrealites, during our Sunday services. It has been a beautiful experience; I don't recall walking away from church filled to the point of overflowing so often. I'm quite aware that the point of church is not to be filled up, but when you are communing with the Lord you cannot help but be poured into.

This Sunday was one of pure worship. What was most impacting was the fact that we were communing with the Lord in the most intimate way, in His temple, worshiping the Majesty, and He was fully present and pleased. We were worshiping in a bar, and I knew the Lord was there and honored that His children were seeking Him. It was a beautiful oxymoron; but then that is the Son of God, Himself.
