Song of Solomon 2:1 (KJV): “I AM the rose of Sharon, and the Lily of the valleys.”
Lily Red Redemption!
There’s a lily in Life’s valleys
which our hearts are drawn towards.
By its fragrance thus compelling are we pulled by sovereign chords.
First as a baby in a manger WHOSE breath has changed the world.
Then by sacrifice in life for us so we now hold The WORD!
Oh LORD, our GOD; what floral Joy is ours! The Tomb – still empty!
So to the Fairest of all thousands do we praise THY NAME – directly!
Devotional: 1 Corinthians 1:18 “For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us who are saved it is the power of GOD.”
2 Corinthians 2:14-15: “Now thanks be to GOD WHO always leads us in triumph in CHRIST, and through us diffuses the fragrance of HIS knowledge in every place.
For we are to GOD the fragrance of CHRIST among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing.”
Ephesians 5:2: “And walk in love, as CHRIST also has loved us and given HIMSELF for us, an offering and a sacrifice to GOD for a sweet-smelling aroma.”
Mark 16:6 “And he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek JESUS of Nazareth, WHO was crucified. HE has risen; HE is not here. See the place where they laid HIM!”
“CHRIST as the Lily: In Christian devotion and hymnody (such as the classic 1881 gospel hymn “The Lily of the Valley” written by Charles Fry),
JESUS is metaphorically called the “Lily of the Valley” and the “Fairest of Ten Thousand,” representing comfort, purity, and soul-cleansing grace.”
Therefore! What a beautiful fragrance is CHRIST in us to fellow CHRISTians!
But while HIS presence is great blessing to us, HIS pleasing aroma which draws us also…
…is a offensive stench to the demonic and all those possessed by their darkness.
So be encouraged!
The darkest valley cannot contain or restrain the KING of all kings! HE is risen!
HE is risen! Hallelujah!
Amen and amen. 🙏
