My Gift #2
FRANKINCENSE
"There's no major surprise here – no fringe theory that suggests something shocking. Only an ancient incense that is still beneficial today.
The gift of frankincense is said to have been an acknowledgement of Jesus' priesthood, setting him apart from a typical king. Frankincense was used in the temple routines, burned ceremonially by the priests. It was not native to that region, however, so obtaining frankincense from the east was costly. This gift was precious in both meaning and value.
Because we now can analyze the properties and modes of action that substances like frankincense resin and its essential oil maintain, we can see further benefit beyond fragrance and ceremony.
Traditional healing suggests frankincense for anti-inflammatory, anti-arthritic abilities. We now see that this could be connected to immune modulating effects that might explain uses for both inflammatory illness and antimicrobial purposes." (www.biblicalarchaeology.org)
Have you bring your incense to God this day? Will you? He worht it. Let your life be an incense, okay? Live your life the way He wants. God Bless You ;)
