A Word From Our Pastor
Thought for the Month - March 2010
“And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.”(2 Cor. 12:7)
Unless I get lifted in pride, unless I start thinking I'm more than others, unless I get to the point where I'll stop speaking to my friends and my family; there was given to me a thorn in the flesh. The specifics of what Paul was struggling with are irrelevant. The fact is he was suffering from something that caused him great affliction. Many of us can relate to Paul’s feelings of uncertainty and insecurity. There are times when God allows us to go through difficulties in order to keep us humble and more importantly to keep us consistent in our prayer life.
All of this was going on in Paul’s life because of a great spiritual blessing that he was able to witness, yet he was unable to share it with anyone. Every time he would testify, he would get right up to this experience and have to cut it off. When he got ready to tell his next testimony, he had to cut himself short. When he got ready to preach a sermon, he said, "I want to tell you about... and he would have to stop. Sometime there are some things in your life you just want to tell, but can't. When you can't tell anybody else, you start telling yourself. It's hard to talk to yourself about the good things of God without getting lifted up. If you're not careful, there is a spiritual pride that gets you to a point where you'll start looking down at other folk and think you are more than they are. But the thorn kept him humble.
Be blessed and encouraged,
Pastor Thomas
