“But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and manifests through us the sweet aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place.”
God always causes us to triumph in Christ. That means to conquer or to give victory. Think about that. In whatever you face God will lead you in victory because of Jesus. Not only that, but God also helps us spread the knowledge about Christ everywhere, like the smell of sweet perfume.
The Message Bible says: “Now thanks be to God, who always causes us to triumph in Christ, and He is revealing through us the odor of the knowledge of Him in every place.”
You may face some serious situations in your life and wonder how you can get through. But because you are in union with Christ you have His word that He will lead you in such a way as to produce your ultimate victory.
I am grateful that God makes me strong to overcome and always makes it possible for Jesus to lead me to victory.
