Today we are reading 2 Corinthians 12. In this chapter we read about Paul’s “thorn in the flesh”.“So to keep me from becoming conceited because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass me, to keep me from becoming conceited. Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” 2 Corinthians 12:7-10 ESV Do you have a
“Thorn in the flesh”—something that is a constant source of humiliation or pain? Why do you think God allows you to continue to experience it? What are you learning from your unending struggle? May God teach you how to endure and even thrive in adversity! Pastor Tim
