2 Corinthians 12 – 7, 8, 9, 10
7 – And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure.
8 – Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me.
9 – And he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for your strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
10 – Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
The Bible doesn’t exactly state what Paul’s infirmity was. None-the-less it was something that was bothering him, and he asked the Lord 3 times that it might depart from him. God had a plan though, He knew that the infirmity would keep Paul strong and focused to continue on the path that God had ordained for him, and it did. Paul was amazing; he was persecuted in so many ways, yet he continued to move forward with God’s plan.
I too have also been inflicted with an infirmity derived from my Multiple Sclerosis; I have been numb from my waist down since I was 32, and I am now 62. I used to pace the floor at night praying that God would remove the numbness from me. Again, God is amazing. He knew that I was going to acquire Osteoporosis, due to my lack of knowledge. He spared me from 50% of the pain that I would have felt, due to my numbness, from the 3 major bones that I have broken. Please go to my website and read “My Path” to see how God has been guiding me to His Divine Presence, to do His will.
Look forward to my upcoming blog on Victim’s of Bone Loss – This Is My Story…
