God's grace is sufficient in our weaknesses, as demonstrated in the life of Paul. Even when God does not remove our thorns, these challenges keep us humble and reliant on His strength. They prevent arrogance and keep us aligned with His purpose. Embracing God's grace means acknowledging our weaknesses and trusting in His strength to carry us through. [56:58]
2 Corinthians 12:9-10 (ESV): "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 of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong."
Reflection: What is a "thorn" in your life that you wish God would remove? How can you embrace His sufficient grace in this area and rely on His strength today?
