Grace Sufficient

The apostle Paul was kept from spiritual pride (from being exalted above measure) by the means of God humbling him with an infirmity of his flesh, which he calls a thorn. Though this thorn pained Paul much, God used it for gracious purposes for Paul and the church. Rather than remove the thorn, God did something better. The Lord taught Paul something that is so foundational and precious to the church to this day: That Christ's grace is sufficient for all our needs.
