Dealing With a Thorn in Your Side — David Jeremiah

Show Notes

In this encouraging teaching, David Jeremiah explores the Apostle Paul’s words in 2 Corinthians 12, where Paul describes a persistent “thorn in the flesh” that God chose not to remove, despite repeated prayer. Dr. Jeremiah explains that thorns often represent ongoing struggles, limitations, or trials that God allows for a greater purpose.

The key truth of this message is God’s response to Paul: “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Rather than removing the thorn, God provides sustaining grace. These challenges can protect us from pride, keep us humble, and teach us to rely fully on God instead of our own strength.

Dr. Jeremiah encourages believers to stop asking only why the thorn exists and instead ask what God is doing through it. When surrendered to Him, a thorn can become a source of spiritual growth, deeper faith, and a powerful testimony of God’s faithfulness.
