The Thorn In The Flesh
When everything was breaking loose--Paul's joy was about used up, he didn't look for a formula, a technique, a therapy or two easy steps. He went straight to God.
Three times he prayed for God to remove this thorn in the flesh. Would it be removed or would he have to live with it?
2 Corinthians 12:9 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.
Paul's ministry might have been destroyed by arrogance or pride had the thorn not kept that from happening.
You may not have a thorn in the flesh. You may not have obstructions in your Christian Service. But if you do, take it to The Lord. He will give you sufficient grace and strength in infirmities, reproaches, necessities, persecution, and distresses.
