2 Corinthians 2:14 · KJV

"Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place."

King James Version

Passage Context

¹²Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ's gospel, and a door was opened unto me of the Lord,

¹³I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother: but taking my leave of them, I went from thence into Macedonia.

¹⁴Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.

Devotional Reflection

What do you smell like today? Is that too close to home? No way, God! Paul says that we are like warriors who have just won a battle and smell like victory incense. When people see us and know us, this smell points to God and how He has won over our wills and over death for us. We are God's conquest and conquerors. Let's give in to His will and show His grace and victory through the way we live.

Prayer

Thank you, LORD God Almighty, for defeating sin and death in such a powerful way. Even more, thank you for taming my rebellious heart and giving me your unmatched grace. Even though life is hard and painful, dear LORD, please help me live my life like a victory march as I make my way home to you. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
