A Blessed Thorn

Though Paul was able to declare, “I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord” (Philippians 3:8), Paul also had a thorn—a burdensome pain from which he prayed to God for relief three times (see 2 Corinthians 12:7-9). Today’s devotional explores what we can learn from Paul’s thorn.
