Today, I was challenged with the obstacle of overcoming my anger with joy, and choosing to be patient and forgiving. Being obedient to God is going to Him when we're in trouble, and not relying on our own strength. Paul once had a vision of a thorn in his flesh. Scripture does not go into detail what this passage means, but there is something that is true: We can all relate to it. The thorn in my flesh today was the idea that I have to be patient, and my will and desires need to conform to what God is planning for me and how He is preparing a place for me. So God, please forgive me for sinning against you and against others. Help me to be more patient, and slow to anger and abounding in love. Teach me to be like you. Amen.
2 Corinthians 12:9-10
My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made PERFECT in weakness. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. FOR WHEN I AM WEAK, THEN I AM STRONG.
"You tore the veil, You made a way....when you said that it is done."
