The Christian Union Station

HAVE YOU EVER HAD A THORN IN THE FLESH! I DID, BUT I’M NOT THE ONLY ONE! MY THORN WAS A LITERAL THORN! MY FOLKS TOOK ME TO A PARK ALONG THE ARKANSAS RIVER WHEN WE LIVED IN KANSAS! I WAS WALKING BAREFOOT AND AFTER WALKING A LONG WAY I STEPPED ON A THORN BRANCH THAT HAD FALLEN TO THE GROUND. THE THORN PIERCED MY RIGHT FOOT SO DEEPLY THAT I COULD SEE THE TIP OF THE THORN AT THE TOP OF MY FOOT! TO SAY I WAS IN PAIN IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT! THANKFULLY MY DAD WAS ABLE TO GRAB THE THORN AND YANK IT OUT OF MY FOOT. OUCH! WHEW! AT SOME TIME, WE ALL GET A THORN IN THE FLESH, AND THE FATHER GOD IS ABLE TO HEAL US IF WE ALLOW HIM! PAUL, THE DISCIPLE CALLED OUT OF DUE SEASON, HAD A TYPE OF “THORN IN THE FLESH”! GOD HELPED PAUL BRING HIS (GOD’S) WORD TO THE WORLD!
