Scripture: 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. 

Paul here borrows a figure from the triumphal processions of Roman conquerors. Returning home after glorious victories, they would lead their captives along the streets of the capital. Incense bearers would march along both sides, and the fragrance of the incense would permeate the scene.

Challenge: I heard this story about a woman who was praying to the Lord and all of a sudden she began to smell this amazing fragrance around her. They determined the odor was coming from the result of prayer. What a wonderful thought! That your life can be a well pleasing aroma for others to enjoy, both spiritually and, as in this woman's case, literally. My challenge for you this week is to positively influence someone with the word of God that will reveal Jesus to them in a greater way.

May the Lord richly bless you,

Pastor Rob
