16 Nissan 5768 (Hebrew 7th Month) "Perfect Remedy!"
Much like the Apostle Paul, many of us will agree that we have cried out to the Lord, pleading that HE remove something or someone that is a hindrance or is troubling.
This response given to Paul, reminds us that in any and all situations, it is the Lord's DESIRE that HIS Strength and Power be made Perfect, fulfilled and completed, showing themselves to be most effective, when allowed to WORK within us each day.
In some way, all Believers in Christ can identify with Paul's anquish, where what we face may not be as severe as the beatings, hardships or sufferings as Paul mentions, we still must completely rely upons God's Grace (favor and loving-kindness and mercy) just as he did.
God is Sovereign is HIS Ways, always, ALL-WAYS!
Whatever Paul's 'thorn' was, it seems that he wanted us to know more about the Strength and Power of Christ, than the specifics of his torment.
The 'Perfect Remedy' which only God provides, an understanding of HIS Grace must be absorbed into our spirit, similiar to the physical nourishment that our body needs, being absorbed into our blood and then transported throughout our body to strengthen and sustain us.
LIFE is in the BLOOD, the shed Blood of Christ, a transfusion completely transforming Believers from weaklings into Mighty and Valiant Warriors, just as God intended.
Holy Spirit is God's 'Agent of Delivery', present continually within the hearts of Believers, administering HIS Comforting Grace to HIS children, whenever and whatever they are suffering.
Confessing our frailities and weaknesses to a Righteous God, strips away our flesh, for that is the Purpose for which our voices sing Praise.
Repentence turns our hearts from those things detestable to a Holy God, for that is where our spirit is then ushered into HIS Holy Presence, where HE alone is Worshiped, Forever!!!
