Day 17: Revelation 8:4

I love the imagery of this verse, where prayers rise to heaven like incense. Many eastern religions use incense in their worship and rituals. Incense isn’t in a rush to go anywhere… It slowly weaves its way heavenward, spreading and touching many on its way. It sweetens as it goes. I feel like prayers do exactly that. They touch others in subtle ways, while sweetening our own lives.

This short tonight because I went country dancing with friends! A night like that is arguably an answer to prayer… So fun and dance just does something special for my soul. I wrote my thoughts before going, just didn’t post them. But these really are for day 17, no skipping 🙂
