As we walk with the Lord, we will encounter various obstacles. Thorns reveal the level of our intimacy with God. At the same time, thorns are also means of Intimacy. Trials are part of human experience, and there are two possible responses when we are faced with pain and trials: either we become bitter and drift farther away from God or we become better by drawing nearer to Him. We must learn how to handle the thorns of life. Intimacy with God develops in us an eternal perspective on circumstances. We recognize that there are no accidents in the life of God’s people—that things happen for a purpose—and that God’s ultimate purpose for us His children is Christ-likeness. Thorns in life are opportunities to be intimate with God and to glorify Him. Our weaknesses can be our strength provided that we surrender them to God. God is inviting you to offer your weaknesses to Him in exchange of His power. May the way we handle the thorns in our life ultimately bring glory to His name. Saints, let us finish the race until our Saviour comes. may the Lord continue to work in us and through us.
