Month of Thanksgiving - Day 13

歌林多後書 2:14
感謝 神! 常率領我們在基督裏誇勝, 並藉我們在各處顯揚那因認識基督而有的香氣。

2 Corinthians 2:14
Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.


Recently some of us brothers have been sharing about how it is such a blessing that God still gives us time to experience Him day by day. While we know that the victory in Him is already complete, we are so thankful to still be given the opportunity to live out our extraordinary lives here on earth, participating in these spiritual battles within and without, and in the process strengthening our faith in Him. Through Him, we get to live our lives very differently than the rest of the world, carving out a path to life that the world never knew before. Through Him, we can be light to this dark world. The lost shall find their way as they smell in us the fragrances of His knowledge. How wonderful is that? Can our circumstances really be blessings in disguise, that it is just another chance for us to follow Him to victory and testify to the world who He is?

Thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ! Thanks be to God who gives us a brand new day today to be His testimony! May lovely fragrances just flow out from us and bring life to those around us.
