Then they opened their treasures and presented Him with gifts of gold and of incense and of myrrh. There is a daily calendar that includes odd laws from all over the country. Many of the laws are obscure or certainly out of date, but for some reason they remain on the books. Some sound so ridiculous that you wonder how they could be true. Tomorrow is Epiphany, a day when the Christian church celebrates the arrival of the wise men to worship the young child, Jesus.
Today let's consider the gift of frankincense.
Many people don't really know what this gift is but the answer can be found within the word-incense. The Bible doesn't share that insight. But we do know that incense was used in worship and prayer. Incense may make scents and sense when we see it as a gift to a child who loved to worship and pray to His heavenly Father. Like incense, may my thoughts, concerns, and thanksgiving rise heavenward to Your throne of grace.
