scripture

 

2 Corinthians 12:7-10     

To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations, there was given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. 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." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, 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.

 

En Espanol, 2 Corintios 12:7-10

thought

 

What thorn is there present in your life? Are you allowing it to control you? Are you allowing it to teach you? Personally, my present thorn is controlling me. I am allowing it to consume my thoughts. I am allowing it to make me act in snide ways. I did not realize how much I relied on myself until now. I am being taught that I am hopelessly inadequate to operate on anything other than God’s good grace.
