The Apostle Paul, in 2 Corinthians 12:1-10, chooses to boast not in receiving revelations or in his accomplishments, but rather in his weaknesses. To keep him humble, God allowed a painful “thorn in the flesh,” and after Paul pleaded three times for its removal, the Lord answered, “My grace is sufficient for thee: for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Paul learned to gladly glory in his distresses and infirmities, because when he was weak, then he was strong through the power of Christ, showing us that God’s grace is always enough and that our shortcomings bring about God’s strength.
