My thoughts: Could it be that Almighty God not only hears
the "music" of our prayers and praises to Him, but sees them as

of the saints combined with the smoke of the incense on the Golden Altar being
a sweet savour to our Lord. Bare with me here...See what you think after
reading this site. All emphasis in this article are mine. ~~Kay
