My parents owned flower shops and I grew up running the aisles and sneaking into the cooler.&nbsp; Oh, I can remember walking in that cooler just to smell how amazing it was when it was full of flowers.&nbsp; I especially loved to take a rose and hold it up to my lips and feel the soft petals and just breathe.&nbsp; It has to be one of the most wonderful aromas in life!&nbsp; Did you know that in the Spirit our life is to be a sweet smelling fragrance to God?&nbsp; It\u2019s true, it\u2019s possible and He gives us the secrets along the way to living a triumphal life!<\/span><\/p><p><b id=\"docs-internal-guid-14d98cd4-7fff-a237-b8c4-2b33c12c1f75\" style=\"caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);

Or, would it simply stink!&nbsp; Ladies, it\u2019s never too late to turn it around.&nbsp; You know, a rose grows best in a pile of manure\u2026it is true!&nbsp; The secret is found in the verse above and, when put into practice;

Well, the Word does let us know that in this life we will have troubles in Jn 16:33,&nbsp; and yet he still said he would always lead us in triumphal procession.&nbsp; So, how can this be true?&nbsp;

It also talks about a table, the kind with every good thing we need for a wonderful life, but did you notice that table is spread in the presence of our enemies?&nbsp; Again, those green pastures and still waters are as we walk through the valley of the shadow of death.<\/span><\/p><p><b style=\"caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);

They are where Christ abides in us.&nbsp; Where no matter what we see we are going through to the other side!&nbsp; Though problems surround us and we seem pressed on every hand, we have a voice that says, \u201cThanks be unto God, who always leads me\u2026\u201d&nbsp;

We can stop, sit down in our mess, look around and think there is no way out.&nbsp; That equals stink.&nbsp; Then again, trials can surround us, but at any time we can look to the one who is our green pastures, rest in Him and lift up our voice of victory.&nbsp; Why?&nbsp; He will always lead us through!
