Paul’s Thorn in the Flesh
When we find ourselves in trying circumstances, we often cry out to God for deliverance. Yet, these prayers at times appear to remain unanswered, and our suffering may continue unabated. Rather than giving in to despair in these situations, the apostle Paul urged believers to behold God's grace at work amidst life's most daunting situations. As Paul discovered, such trials are often God's mysterious means of achieving His wondrous purposes in us.
