Grace For Your Thorn

“And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.

For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.

And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.”
(II Corinthians 12:7-10)

Do You Have A Thorn?
Husband?
Wife?
Job/Career?
Illness?
Family Member(s)?
Friend(s)?
Coworker(s)?

Sometimes God allows people and or things in our lives to keep us humble, focused and dependent upon Him. God’s grace is sufficient to help you endure no matter the situation or the circumstance. Just continue to pray, trust and obey God.

Remember:
Hebrews 13:5
Psalm 34:19
Psalm 46:10
