Breathe Deeply

Have you ever heard someone say “that stinks” when something awful happens? If bad things repeatedly happen, they might even say life stinks. Instead of focusing on the foul, though, we have a choice to breathe in what Song of Solomon 2:1 refers to as the rose of Sharon, a reference to Christ and His splendor, heavenly fragrance, and beauty.

When life stinks, stay extra close to Christ. Breathe in His fragrance. “I am the rose of Sharon, the lily of the valleys” (Song of Solomon 2:1).
