And when we obey him, every path he guides us on is fragrant with his loving-kindness and his truth.
Dear Ones: Every Path! When we choose to be led by the Spirit of God, every path that He leads us on is filled with the fragrance of His love. You might ask, “How can this be? It seems that my road has been filled with rocks, land mines, and traps.” The key is to be led by the Spirit and to keep your focus on Him.
The Spirit of God led Christ into the wilderness to be tested. It was part of His mission from to the Father. He had to be tested like the first Adam. The Lord Jesus passed the tests of the same temptations that Adam faced in the Garden. He emerged from the wilderness testing victorious and filled with the power of God as His Champion.
When we are in Christ, He walks the paths of our lives with us. Even when we go through the fire He will keep us. We will emerge covered in the aroma of victory. Like the three Hebrew men, we won’t carry the scent of the fire nor be scorched by the flames. It is in the wilderness times that our faith and trust in Him is strengthened to a greater degree. What the devil meant to destroy us is turned by the Lord into our greatest victories in Him.
May your every path be saturated with the fragrance of His loving presence. Let His wisdom and truth guide your steps as you follow Him. The plans that He has for you are to prosper you, to give you hope and a blessed future. You are an overcomer in Him. I bless you in Jesus’ name.
