Imagine That He Knows and Understands
1 Corinthians 8:2 Amp. Bible
2. If anyone imagines that he knows and understands anything [of divine matters, without love], he has not yet known as he ought to know.
In dealing with our thorn in the flesh, we need to know one thing, that we can not do it by ourselves. We need rely on the Lord and His healing power to overcome it.
America's thorn in the flesh right now is the corona-virus. And it was nice to see that Vice-President started his committee on how we need to handle things started by prayer. And of course he was criticized for doing it. But is only by prayer and the Lord that we will be able to overcome this virus.
The one mistake that we can make in trying to deal with our thorn in the flesh, is to think that we somehow understand it and can fix it on our own. A thorn in the flesh isn't a simple fix, it takes the Lord to be able to help us deal with it. And what we might try just probably will make it worse than better.
John 3:16 Amp. Bible
16. For God so [greatly] loved and dearly prized the world, that He [even] gave His [One and] only begotten Son, so that whoever believes and trusts in Him [as Savior] shall not perish, but have eternal life.
So it is only by the Lord's love for us that we will be able to deal whatever our thorn in the flesh might be.
Shalom,
