Follow THE Leader...with JOY! HE Leads in Triumph!



          Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  It’s what we need when we’re feeling  discouraged and begin to think like a loser!

            Let me begin today’s message by clarifying….God’s children are NOT losers!   2 Corinthians 2:14 tells us:  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.”

            It is true that without Him, we are nothing!  But that’s not the same thing as being a loser! Because of His unending, compassionate love for us, we can depend on Him leading us IN TRIUMPH.  The key here…He’s willing to lead but we must be willing to FOLLOW! And as we follow, trusting Him and reflecting His presence, then the “sweet aroma of the knowledge of Him” will go with us. 

            Let that truth sink in and may your “loser” thoughts be transformed as you allow God to renew your thinking.  May the sweet aroma of Jesus go before us, with us and linger after we leave.  Let’s put a smile on our face and stand straight and tall, knowing that we are His children and representatives of the family of God.  That makes you the opposite of a loser!  You, my friend, are a champ! So run today’s race…as well as tomorrow’s and all those to come…with confidence.  He is ALWAYS leading us in triumph in Christ.

            I joyfully encouraging you to follow in His footsteps and you will find yourself on the sweet smelling path of JOY!
