THANKSGIVING

2Co 2:14 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.
(KJV)

I know that if you read this other versions it might say something different but bear with me please.

Notice that the verse says “which” not “who”. This means that what is being spoken of in the verse is thanksgiving unto God, not God. I know there are other scriptures that say that God gives us the victory through Jesus and I am not disputing that, nor is this verse. This scripture is pointing out part of the process of obtaining the victory Jesus has provided for us.

The word “triumph” does not mean to win the victory, but rather to celebrate the victory. We become part of the celebration and the victory becomes ours as we give thanks to God for it. Not only that, but our thanksgiving makes it possible for others to “taste and see” that the Lord is good. Our thanksgiving serves to establish His presence or make His presence known whenever and wherever we give thanks.

It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord!
