TO KEEP ME FROM BECOMING CONCEITED BECAUSE OF THESE SURPASSINGLY GREAT REVELATIONS, THERE WAS GIVEN ME A THORNE IN MY FLESH, A MESSENGER OF SATAN, TO TORMENT ME. ( 2 CORINTHIANS 12:7 *NIV )

It is believed that the “thorne” Paul was talking about was his poor eye sight! After all it is known that Paul dictated almost all of his letters (or Books) to the Apostle Luke to write for him. Paul even made reference to his poor vision when he wrote: SEE WITH WHAT LARGE LETTERS I HAVE WRITTEN TO YOU WITH MY OWN HAND! ( GALATIANS 6:11 )

It must have been very hard for the Apostle Paul to have such poor eye sight for he stated that: “THREE TIMES I PLEADED WITH THE LORD TO TAKE IT AWAY FROM ME. BUT HE SAID TO ME, “MY GRACE IS SUFFICIENT FOR YOU, FOR MY POWER IS MADE PERFECT IN WEAKNESS,” ( 2 CORINTHIANS 12:8-9 )

Isn’t it wonderful my friend that God’s Grace is there for us as well! Therefore, LET US THEN APPROACH THE THRONE OF GRACE WITH CONFIDENCE, SO THAT WE MAY RECEIVE MERCY AND FIND GRACE TO HELP US IN OUR TIME OF NEED. ( HEBREWS 4:16 )

So, when you face difficulties in your life, try to be like Paul, for he said: “THEREFORE I WILL BOAST ALL THE MORE GLADLY ABOUT MY WEAKNESS, SO THAT CHRIST’S POWER MAY REST ON ME. THAT IS WHY, FOR CHRIST’S SAKE, I DELIGHT IN WEAKNESSES, IN INSULTS, IN HARDSHIPS, IN PERSECUTIONS, IN DIFFICULTIES. FOR WHEN I AM WEAK, THEN I AM STRONG.” ( 2 CORINTHIANS 12:9-10 )

Now my friend, GRACE TO YOU AND PEACE FROM GOD OUR FATHER AND THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. Amen. ( PHILEMON 3 )
