At last, a conservative news aggregator that does not bow to the woke right.
In this Harbinger’s Daily article, staff writers explore the apostle Paul’s “thorn in the flesh” as a divine tool to keep him humble and display God’s strength in weakness.
- Paul described the thorn as a “messenger of Satan” that buffeted him to prevent exaltation from his abundant revelations (2 Cor. 12:7).
- The exact nature remains unknown but may have involved physical illness, psychological issues, persecution, or a combination.
- Paul pleaded three times for removal, but God responded that His grace is sufficient and strength is made perfect in weakness (2 Cor. 12:9).
- Paul learned to take pleasure in infirmities, reproaches, needs, persecutions, and distresses for Christ’s sake, declaring “when I am weak, then I am strong” (2 Cor. 12:10).
- The thorn’s purpose was humility and reliance on God, allowing divine power to be displayed through human frailty.
- Believers facing trials can trust God’s sufficient grace and purpose in weakness, as with Paul and even Jesus in Gethsemane.
