2 Corinthians 12. Day 179 - The New Testament in a Year

Paul’s Vision of Heaven.  The Thorn in Paul’s Flesh. Paul’s Love for the Corinthians. 

"Therefore, I will most gladly boast all the more about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may reside in me. So I take pleasure in weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and in difficulties, for the sake of Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong."  - 2 Corinthians 12:9-10

Have you ever felt like your struggles are holding you back? In 2 Corinthians 12, we learn that even Paul, a great apostle, experienced a "thorn in the flesh"—a constant struggle that kept him grounded and reliant on God's strength. As we explore Paul’s vision of heaven, his humility, and his ultimate surrender to God's grace, we find comfort in knowing that God’s power is made perfect in our weaknesses.

This episode challenges us to see our limitations not as barriers, but as opportunities for God to work through us. We examine how God’s grace sustains us, how humility leads to true strength, and how we can embrace the challenges in our lives as moments for spiritual growth. Through Paul's testimony, we learn that when we are weak, God is strong, and His grace is sufficient for every trial we face.
