2 Corinthians 2:14 -- On Triumph in Christ

"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."
2 Corinthians 2:14


I like the idea of triumphing in Christ.  No matter how much we feel like failures, or even when we legitimately fail by all measures. :)  In Christ, we still triumph.  

Why?  Because he gives us do-overs.  We get to try again to get things right, to be who we want to be... who Christ knows that we can be.  Truly good... no matter how many times we've messed up in the past.  With God, the only real failure is giving up, because if we hang in there and we keep trying, even if we only improve tiny bit by miniscule fraction... we're still improving, getting closer and closer to being perfect, and with eternity stretching before us, Christ can help us get there. :)

Today, let's keep trying, making improvements little by little.  As we stay in touch with God, he will make "manifest the savour of his knowledge" ... or in other words, we'll feel his presence, and he will help us and bless us with hope.  Let's always choose to triumph in Christ rather than giving up.
