Like candles? And incense? We don't know all the details about God. We'll have to wait until we go live with Him to discover more. One thing we do know is that He loves incense.
When Isaiah encountered the Lord God Jehovah in the temple, the seraphim (high ranking angels) were busy burning incense. the entire temple was filled with smoke. (Isaiah 6)
There's a magnificent scene in heaven that John the Apostle share in Revelation 8:3-4. John went on a tour through heaven. He discovered that the angels were mixing incense with the prayers of the people who believe in Him. Imagine that!
Picture our heavenly Father loving us – lavishing affection on us! He has angels mixing our prayers with the incense! He treasures our prayers. I think that Jesus and the Holy Spirit must be sorting through our prayers to sweeten them by changing them from our raw selfish requests to something noble and perfect for the Father. The angels mixing them with incense are stirring the pot like kitchen helpers.
The Lord of the universe sits on His throne and waits to hear from us! In this age of easy access to God’s throne room, how sinfully prideful are we when we offer Him irreverent, slovenly prayers?
