Thank You For Thorns In My Life-Seriously?

To keep me from becoming conceited because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass me.  2 Corinthians 12:7

I love the writings or Christian author, speaker and recording artist Joni Eareckson Tada and in her devotional entitled ‘A Spectacle of Glory’ her December 14 writing was referring to self glory and thorns. 

What are the thorns in your life? Can you really be grateful for them? Things that are hurtful, jab you, hurt your feelings, make you want to quit. Many times things happen only because the enemy is trying to get you to cave in and stop praying seeing no real hope. 

Look back on life at experiences you have had. Are you the one who is seemingly wanting glory or do you want God to have it. Next can you now see that many things that you might have felt like were hurting you may have had a valid reason? Ponder that and have a great day. 

PRAYER: I thankyou for each and every situation whether good or bad and help me to focus on you Lord and not my messy situations. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
