"Be encourged"  2 Corinthains 4:7-9

Sometime we ask God for something and it never happens. We know the Apostle Paul suffered many trials by the hand of man. But beyond that he suffered some type of trial by the permission of God. Paul called it a messenger of Satan and begged God to remove this “thorn in the flesh.” Yet, God chose to allow Paul to suffer with this affliction. There are many speculations for what this problem was, but we are not told clearly in the text of the Bible. Even though we do not know the exact nature of the problem there is a lesson to be learned that can apply to each of us. Paul endured this trial which caused him to depend more upon the Lord. He was told by God that the affliction was to show the power of God through a weakened life. When we are weak, sick, in need, persecuted, or distressed, then God can show himself strong for our benefit and for His glory.  After asking three-times, God told Paul that His grace was sufficient. He never asked again and accepted God’s will. It was sufficient for Paul; God’s grace is sufficient for us today. Remember God is in control, we can be encouraged.
