Paul’s Thorn in the Flesh

2 CORINTHIANS 12:1 It is necessary to go on boasting.1 Though it is not profitable, I will go on to visions and revelations from the Lord. 12:2 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago (whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows) was caught up to the third heaven. 12:3 And I know that this man (whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, God knows) 12:4 was caught up into paradise2 and heard things too sacred to be put into words,3 things that a person4 is not permitted to speak. 12:5 On behalf of such an individual I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except about my weaknesses. 12:6 For even if I wish to boast, I will not be a fool, for I would be telling5 the truth, but I refrain from this so that no one may regard6 me beyond what he sees in me or what he hears from me, 12:7 even because of the extraordinary character of the revelations. Therefore,7 so that I would not become arrogant, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to trouble8 me – so that I would not become arrogant.9 12:8 I asked the Lord three times about this, that it would depart from me. 12:9 But10 he said to me, “My grace is enough11 for you, for my12 power is made perfect13 in weakness.” So then, I will boast most gladly14 about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may reside in15 me. 12:10 Therefore I am content with16 weaknesses, with insults, with troubles, with persecutions and difficulties17 for the sake of Christ, for whenever I am weak, then I am strong.

In life sometime it's not always when we have it all FIGURED out, i mean yeah we able to make decisions and all because of the brains which God gave us but sometimes we just have to lay back and understand that our knowledge and comprehension capacity is JUST limited.

.....But we worry and despair not though, because we are rest assured that in HIM WHOM we trust is AND RESTS OUR full and unlimited REFUGE AND UNLIMITED COMPREHENSION!!!!!!!!

I FIND INSPIRATION AND AM FULLY STRUCK AND TAKEN AFAR BY PAUL'S ENCOUNTER WITH GOD AND HOW AT THE END HE (PAUL) LEARNT TO COMPREHEND THROUGH A THEOLOGICAL EYE "FROM GOD'S PERSPECTIVE!"

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU GIANT MAY BE TODAY BUT I CAN SURELY ASSURE YOU THAT, IT AIN'T BIGGER THAT THE GOD I HAVE COME TO KNOW AND SERVE!!!!!!!!!!!!
