Dead Flies in the Ointment!

Beloved, if we would keep ourselves from the sins of folly/foolishness, if we would honor God in our lives and be a sweet fragrance unto God, we must first be brought low for our sins, put away the little sins!
We must be humbled and beaten very small before our Father and our God; like these sweet spices when crushed under the hand of the apothecary, under his mortar and pestle.
These sweet spices will ONLY give forth their sweet aroma and fragrance after they have been crushed and beaten very small.
The sweet graces of Christ will only come forth from a humble heart that abhors all manner of sins; especially the little sins of foolishness.
Therefore, keep yourself AWAY FROM ALL foolishness/folly; it will ruin your testimony and reputation (make it to stink), like a few little flies, which will corrupt and ruin precious ointment and make it stink.
