A Pleasing Aroma

"It is a food offering with a pleasing aroma to the LORD." - Lev 3:5b

Burning fat, kidneys, and liver is a pleasing aroma. Sure that would smell good on a grill while it's still in the roasting stage. But burning? Burnt fleshy smoke doesn't please human nostrils. This is just one more example of how different God's ways are from our ways.

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts (Isa 55:8-9).
