When God smelled the pleasing aroma of Noah’s sacrifice, He resolved never again to deal out a similar curse of destruction. He was so happy with the gratitude gesture expressed through the offering.

As Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord, so each of us can find His grace through Christ Jesus, His Son. We too can send offerings of praise and thanksgiving up to Him that actually displace the animal sacrifice and please Him more. [Ps.69:31]

DAILY PRAYER: Lord, we offer the sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving to You. Every day we will be grateful for the eternal, abundant life You offer us through Jesus.

DAILY READING: Gen. 6-8
