The Thorn That Tames Our Boasting

A person standing in soft morning light with a small thorned vine wrapped around the arm, symbolizing humility and God’s grace in weakness.

Paul’s thorn in the flesh shows how God uses weakness to guard us from pride and shape our boasting.

The Bible says all have sinned—and that God, being perfectly just, gives one punishment for sin: death. Unlike human courts that vary punishment based on the crime, God’s standard is absolute.

Four-panel Christian meme illustrating the contrast between self-centered and Christ-centered faith. The first panel asks, “Are we expecting God to work for us?” The second shows a man lounging, praying, “God, make my life easier.” The third shows the same man carrying a cross, saying, “Lord, use me for Your kingdom.” The final panel reads, “The only life worth living is one spent working for God’s kingdom.”

True discipleship means surrendering our plans and working for God’s kingdom every day. This post explores how to shift from asking God to serve us to living fully in service to Him, finding lasting peace, purpose, and joy as we prepare for Christ’s return.
