“His shoots will sprout, And his beauty will be like the olive tree and his fragrance like the cedars of Lebanon.” (Hosea 14:6, NASB)

“Hosea surely knew something of the scent of conifers … The impression of Christ it gives should penetrate everywhere like pine-fragrance … For where there is fragrance the effect is everywhere, pervading all. You cannot hide it. So does one whose roots are in Christ shed forth, like the cedar, a sweet savour of Him who is his unseen source of life. We carry with us the unassuming beauty of the Holy Spirit, as figured in the olive, and the effect is to make people aware only of a fragrant influence of Christ. He cannot be hid.”

(from A Table in the Wilderness by Watchman Nee, June 1st)
