“That is why for Christ’s sake I delight in weakness, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when am weak, then I am strong” (2 Cor 12:10)

Apostle Paul was called into ministry and endowed with many gifts, including amazing revelations from above. However, he had a matter that constantly drove him on his knees. “Therefore in order to keep me from being conceited, I was given a thorn in the flesh, a messenger from Satan, to torment me” (2 Cor 12: 7).

Paul would often cry out to God to free him of this particularly troubling matter. But the Lord came back with, “My grace is sufficient for you. For my power is made perfect in your weakness” (2 Cor 12: 9).

The comfort of this lesson is that God is completely aware of whatever might be ever troubling us. Moreover, it could be purposely there, that we constantly place our faith in Him, other than relying on our strength and resources, especially as He blesses us in other uplifting ways. In your struggles, therefore, dont lose faith that God has forgetten you.

Prayer for today: Lord Father in heaven, today I pray that whatever matter is constantly troubling me, I know there is a purpose and you are in total control, to bless me even more, this I pray in Jesus’ name.
