Title: Testimony to the World.

-

 "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). KJV.
Devotion: As believers, we have every reason to give thanks to God. For in His infinite mercy, He grants us the strength to triumph over every adversity, that we might become beacons of hope in a world shrouded in darkness. The apostle Paul, in his second epistle to the Corinthians, aptly captures this sentiment: "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).
  This verse underscores the profound impact of our faith on the world around us. As ambassadors of Christ, we are called to bear witness to the transformative power of His love, mercy, and provision. Everywhere we go, we carry the sweet aroma of His knowledge, leaving an indelible mark on those we encounter.
  But how can we fulfill this mandate if we are not winning our battles? How can we testify to the goodness of Christ if we are mired in defeat and despair? The answer lies in our willingness to surrender to God's sovereignty and tap into His boundless strength.
  As the psalmist declares, "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble" (Psalm 46:1). When we anchor ourselves in this truth, we can face any challenge with confidence, knowing that God is always causing us to triumph in Christ.
  So, dear reader, let us ask ourselves: Are we winning our battles? Are we a witness to the goodness of Christ in the world around us? If not, let us cry out to God for strength, that we might emerge victorious and proclaim the savour of His knowledge to a world in desperate need of His love.
  As we reflect on this devotion, let us also ponder the words of Matthew 5:16, which exhorts us to "let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." May our lives be a testament to the power of Christ, shining brightly for all to see.

Title: When your time shall be over, you'll fly away.

Psalms 90:10  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Devotional: Late music legend – Peter Tosh sang a song with this title many years ago. It came to mind yesterday while I listened to a beautifully delivered sermon at a burial. I therefore penned this devotional on same title. Do not be deceived, at a point in your life you’ll fly away.   There comes a day when the tapestry of your earthly existence is folded. The moments of struggle, joy, triumph, and trials will all coalesce into a story complete. When that time comes, the soul, unburdened by the weight of the mortal frame, ascends beyond the veil of this world—taking flight toward eternal rest.   You are not bound to the temporal; your essence is celestial. As the Psalmist declared, "The days of our years are threescore years and ten...it is soon cut off, and we ...
