Recently when praying, I have seen an aroma rising up into nostrils. It reminds me of the pleasure God takes in the prayers of the saints.
"The smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of God's people, went up before God from the angel's hand". Revelation 8:4
Our prayers go up to God. They rise from earth, from amid spiritual warfare and chaos, and they reach God. Angels often deliver prayers to and from the Lord...It is their joy to carry out His ministry. And our prayers are accompanied by a pleasing smell, to mark them as precious in the sight of the Lord. What a precious thing to please God, to have His favor, and for Him to listen and be attentive to our prayer. We must be careful, though, to come before God blameless and forgiven, or else He does not hear us.
"And we know that God does not listen to sinners, but He is ready to hear those who worship Him and do His will".
He is ready, He is ready to hear. He is waiting for us to ask, and He has the Holy Spirit and armies of Angels at His disposal. "Mighty ones who do His bidding" are waiting in the wings, ready for commands. Let's be close enough to God that we can have a tangible result to our prayers.
