"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."
Thanksgiving and the leading of the Spirit operate together. There is a close relationship between our thanksgiving to God and walking in divine guidance.
The more we thank God, the better our spiritual sensitivity and understanding of the leading of the Spirit.
The more we are led by the Spirit, the greater our thanksgiving to God. Thus there is a continous cycle of appreciation and direction that compels us to make notable progress in life.
Our text says : "Now thanks be unto God Who always leads us..."
God leads us always. So, our thanksgiving to God should be always.
God does not lead Himself, He Leads us. We should never thank or praise ourselves for any success that we attain. We should thank and praise God.
Receiving and walking in divine guidance is the natural consequence of overflowing in gratitude to God.
So, as we minister to the LORD we enjoy the abundance of divine guidance and as we walk in divine guidance we have more reasons to minister to Him.
There is a continuous cycle of ministering to the LORD and walking in divine guidance that compels our lives to move upward and forward.
Shalom
