"Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me." 2 Corinthians 12:8-9
In these verses, Paul is referring to a torn in his side, which continually humbles him. The ironic thing is that I was very humbled this morning. It was one of those mornings where everything seemed to go wrong. Like Being greeted with a parking ticket first thing in the morning... Or the service engine light coming on yesterday... Needless to say, if we are striving to be more Christ-like we have to continually renew our minds and refuse to let our "thorns" affect our attitude. Don't let your praise be determined by your circumstances. Happy Monday!
