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. (2 Corinthians 2:14).

Today, I want to challenge us to pay attention to the way we live as God’s ambassadors. Friend, life is a journey so we must come to realize that sometimes God ordains our journey not only because of us or our destiny, but because of His own purpose.

You may not know why you are in that office or serving in the capacity you function in your local church. But God knows why. The earlier you know it the better for you. This would help you to live and act more purposefully and rejoice because you know God is using your life for His glory.

What is this God’s purpose? The answer is clearly stated in our focal text. Paul writes, “Now thanks be to God who … through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place” (2 Corinthians 2:14).

Friend, God wants to diffuse the fragrance of His knowledge everywhere you go. He wants to reveal who He is through your life to those around you. He wants you “to spread the knowledge about Him” in your life.

When you live right, people will ask questions. Then you can witness to them and tell them about Jesus who is at work in you. If the Holy Spirit convinces them, they may believein Him as well.

Think on these things. Shalom.

Your Turn

• Are you living up to God’s expectation?
• In what ways can you spread the fragrance of His glory everywhere you go?
• Talk to God about your situation.
