Observation

How does the fragrance mentioned in this chapter picture the fragrance mentioned in 2 Corinthians 2:14-15?

Application

Do I “smell like” Christ? Do I spread His fragrance everywhere I go?

Prayer

Pray today’s Scripture back to God:
Dear Father God, May I be the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved, encouraging them and building them up in You, and among those who are perishing, that they may be drawn to You. I pray this in Jesus’ Name, Amen!

Pray to BLESS!
One good way to pray for people is to use the acronym BLESS to pray for God’s blessing on every area of their lives:

• B – BODY (physical health)
• L – Labor (their job or school)
• E – Emotions (emotional health as well as guarding against letting emotions rule)
• S – Social (relationships with family, friends, co-workers, neighbors, church, etc)
• S – Spiritual (remaining true to God and growing in Him)

Spend some time praying for the following people and ministries:

• Mike Daniels
• Theresa Daniels
• Travis & Hali Davidson (Andrew)
• Brian & Eileen Davis

Missionaries:

• Tim & Miranda Penn (Samid, Sarah), missionaries to Albania

CLF:

• That Christian Life Fellowship would be a church that is devoted to the Word of God, and that we would be doers of it and not just hearers; that we would study the Word and so always be prepared to give everyone an answer–in season and out of season–and be approved workers who do not need to be ashamed, able to accurately understand and explain it.

Community: Pray for our state leaders…

• Governor & his advisers
• Judges
• state senators and representatives
• that they would all be faithful in carrying out their duties justly
• that they would submit themselves to God

MEMORY VERSE OF THE WEEK:
Finally then, brothers, we ask and encourage you in the Lord Jesus, that as you have received from us how you must walk and please God—as you are doing—do so even more. – 1 Thessalonians 4:1 (HCSB)
