The chapters are listed in sequential order of every fifth one, interspersed with the book name every few times down the screen. Double-tap on the desired book, and usually, you will hear "chapter" announced. We are encompassed with the sweet aroma of Jesus, and wherever we go we are a wonderful refreshment to God.For a while, yes, you were right! The Read Tab of the YouVersion Bible App was inaccessible via the double-tap on the Chapter, field! It brought up a continuous carrousel of Bible books! The only way to search for a passage was to double-tap the Search button at top left and type in John 3:16, for instance!īut now, though somewhat convoluted, there is a work around for accessing the Read Tab from the Chapter Button! Double-tap on Chapter! You are presented with a scroll of Bible books. “We are to God the fragrance of Christ…” ( 2 Corinthians 2:15). We should belong so completely to the Victor that it is always His victory, and “we are more than conquerors through Him…” ( Romans 8:37).

It is a shameful thing for a Christian to talk about getting the victory. It was Paul’s joy to be a captive of the Lord, and he had no other interest in heaven or on earth. How small all the other perspectives are! For example, the ones that say, “I am standing all alone, battling for Jesus,” or, “I have to maintain the cause of Christ and hold down this fort for Him.” But Paul said, in essence, “I am in the procession of a conqueror, and it doesn’t matter what the difficulties are, for I am always led in triumph.” Is this idea being worked out practically in us? Paul’s secret joy was that God took him as a blatant rebel against Jesus Christ, and made him a captive- and that became his purpose.

We are not on display in God’s showcase- we are here to exhibit only one thing- the “captivity to the obedience of Christ” ( 2 Corinthians 10:5). The proper perspective to maintain is that we are here for only one purpose- to be captives marching in the procession of Christ’s triumphs.

No outside power can touch the proper perspective. Be careful that you vigorously maintain God’s perspective, and remember that it must be done every day, little by little. The proper perspective of a servant of God must not simply be as near to the highest as he can get, but it must be the highest.
