Well, I kept wondering why yeast and honey were not allowed in the grain offerings. I thought it was something I should know, but I couldn't remember exactly what it was that I was suppose to know. So, I looked it up.

In case you all need a refresher. Yeast represents bitterness and evil. Honey represents corruption. The sacrifice represents the worshiper. A sacrifice would not be pleasing to the Lord if it was full of bitterness, evil and corruption.

This was an ah ha moment because I realized that when we spend time in prayer before we take the Lord's Supper, and any other time that we are offering up ourselves to Him, we are doing the exact thing that God told the Israelites to do some 3000 plus years ago. Getting rid of the bitterness, evil and corruption.

I also like the phrase "a pleasing aroma to the Lord." I guess because I want to be a pleasing aroma to Him, I don't want to stink!
