(NASB) 2 Corinthians 2:14 “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.”

Teachable Heart
(NASB) Romans 6:17 “But thanks be to God that though you were slaves of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were committed… ”

I become obedient from my heart – my motives and attitudes are changed when I yield to my God and His words.  “But thanks be to God… ”

Triumphant Living
(NASB) 1 Corinthians 15:57 “but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

I have victory through my Lord Jesus Christ.  He is my triumphant Savior.  “But thanks be to God… ”

Touching Others
(NASB) Romans 1:8 “First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, because your faith is being proclaimed throughout the whole world.”

My faith is proclaimed to many others because I yielded to God and His way for me.  “But thanks be to God… ”

Teachable heart; Triumphant living; Touching others
To be triumphant in living, I have to be teachable.
To touch lives with the knowledge of the living God and faith in Jesus Christ, I have to be teachable.

1 – Be teachable – I am to be yielded and obedient with my motives and attitudes which line up with God’s word, not my will or desires.
2 – Live triumphantly – this can only be done through being yielded to God for His will, His way.  Even when it seems I am at a dead-end.
3 – Touching others – to influence others with the knowledge of God in every place I walk today.  Before I can do that with much fruit – I must be teachable under the mighty hand of the Almighty God!
Am I?

~ Take it to heart ~

Be Teachable – obey God’s words.
Be Triumphant – because of being teachable under God’s teaching.
Be Touching other lives – because God is triumphant in my life – He is my Teacher!

“But thanks be to God… ”
