Numbers 27-29. “Grandma’s Fudge”
Try to recall one of your favorite aromas. It has to be a smell that was more than just sweet, but also comforting. For me it’s Grandma’s fudge.
Grandma made the best fudge, which we would drizzle on our vanilla ice cream (actually I would make every attempt to drown my ice cream in her fudge). When my brothers, sister, and I would smell Grandma’s fudge on the stove we knew something special was coming. And, it was more than just the wonderful fudge; it was Grandma showing us her love.
Today’s passage describes regular offerings to the Lord. Yet, a phrase that appears in nearly every paragraph is that it would be “very pleasing to the LORD.” In the Hebrew this phrase conjures up the description of something pleasant, delightful, sweet, and yet also comforting, or restful. Meaning, this is more than something that smells good, it creates an emotion of satisfaction.
Now, apply this to our worship of our Lord. In order to be very pleasing it must be genuine, sincere, deliberate, careful, acceptable, appropriate, and transparent.
