Wisdom Wednesdays: "The Thorn in Your Flesh"
If you are like many people you probably had a few setbacks in 2013. No worries. I was just reminded in our Communion Service about the thorn in Paul's flesh. Look what 2Corinthians 12:10 tells us, "Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong." So know that no matter what The Thorn in Your Flesh may be, Jesus is much stronger. It is in our weaknesses that we must allow Christ to reign; we must surrender our strength so that Christ's power can be made more apparent to other people. After all, we want all of the praise, honor and glory to go to Christ. So hang in there, know that these thorns in our lives are only there to make us strong.
Now that's a word!
