I look at this in light of what God says in The Bible, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." (Romans 8:28) and "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." (2 Corinthians 5:17)
Triumph and Disaster are, first of all, imposters. Why? Because neither of them define God's purpose. Whether something seems triumphant or disasterous, the cicumstances we face do not change God's goodness and His good plans for our lives. His plans don't shift with our attitudes or circumstances.
Because of Jesus, we are made new and nothing can take separate us from God's love!
Satan tries to use both triumph and disaster to distract us from remembering and knowing God's perfect plan and purpose for our lives...or even that God is involved in our lifes at all. In triumph we can become too proud, in disaster we can think we are worthless. And then we become self-centered instead of focused on God.
Rudyard Kipling is making a great point, because if we can treat those two imposters the same then it is a sign that we are mature and filled with God's love.
