2 Corinthians 12:7–10 (NKJV)
7 And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure.
- Why Me?
- For My Good
- The Thorn in the Flesh
- Using the Enemy for My Good
8 Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. 9 And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.
- A Revelation of God’s Grace
- Pleading for Relief
- Hearing from God
- The Sufficiency of the Savior
Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 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.
- Thriving in the Thorns
- Boasting in Infirmities?
- Pleasure in All Kinds of Trouble?
- The Power of Christ
- Strength in Weakness
