In these verses, God answers the apostle Paul after he asks to be released from the 'thorn in his side.' One faith leader in South Carolina says God is ready to bless us through our weakness.
A young woman who felt abandoned and alone while living in an orphanage in Ukraine was adopted by an American family — here's her remarkable story of love, faith and hope.
"Three times I appealed to the Lord about this, that it would leave me, but he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness'" .Paul wrote the letter from Macedonia in about A.D. 55 or 56, according to multiple sources. The letter, which Paul may have been written after an actual visit to Corinth, refers to"an upheaval among the Christians there" — during which Paul had been insulted and his authority as an apostle challenged, Britannica notes. If God loves me and is merciful, why does he not release me from pain or struggle?
The Bible verses 2 Corinthians 12:8-9 addresses human struggles and why God may not deliver us from them — instead asking us to lean on his grace."Even if I should choose to boast, I would not be a fool, because I would be speaking the truth. But I refrain, so no one will think more of me than is warranted by what I do or say …" reads 2 Corinthians 12:6."Or because of these surpassingly great revelations," continues 2 Corinthians 12:7.
"Therefore, in order to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me."The apostle Paul acknowledges his humility through his struggle — and then asked God three times to be released from it, this"messenger of Satan."God uses even our weaknesses to bring us greater strength and closeness to him as 2 Corinthians 12:8-9 reveals, one South Carolina faith leader told Fox News Digital.
