Day 130 Promise 589 2 Corinthians 2:14 Now thanks be unto God, which always causes us to triumph in Christ, and makes manifest the savor of his knowledge by us in every place. 15 For we are unto God a sweet savor of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish: 16 To the one we are the savor of death unto death; and to the other the savor of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things? 17 For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, speak we in Christ. Do you stink? Do people tell you your thoughts and actions are repugnant? Do they stay away from you because your ideas are strange and make no sense? Paul told the Corinthians they had the aroma of death on them because they believed in Jesus and the people around them didn’t. Only those who were like-minded had the aroma of life on them. A person with the aroma of life would always triumph in their walk with Christ Jesus. As Christians, you have been around people who would rather stay away from you and your ‘religion’. They don’t understand your relationship with Jesus Christ. They don’t realize they feel the conviction of the Holy Spirit in their lives when they are around you. They feel Hell’s cavernous mouth and tenacious arms reaching for them, so they run from you instead of embracing the life you have in you. Your life is one of triumph in Jesus Christ. Theirs is one of defeat and rejection. Let God’s love permeate your life so people will know you belong to Christ and Christ lives in you. Let’s pray: Father, let Your aroma fill my life to overflowing. Let me always triumph in my walk with You. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
