The Apostle Paul states in verse seven: Therefore, in order to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan,to torment me. The Apostle Paul is trying to tell us that those that boast and brag are not doing the true ministry of God and that a thorn will be sent to throw a persons conceitedness off the cliff. The gift of imperfectness is in the fact that we serve a God that loves us so much that his strength is sent to us in and during our lowest moments.
Brothers and Sisters, my prayer for all of this week is that we will listen to the following words of Christ" "My grace is sufficient for you , for my power is made perfect in weakness." Beloved, be strong in your faith and in the fact that we are not perfect, only God is. The strength that we take is the fact that God sent his Son to die for we imperfect beings that are weak. God loves us so much that his strength is manifested to us when we are at our lowest and in our deepest darkest places.
So as we go forth, maybe we should change the words of the song to: "O Lord it's a blessing to be humble and know that God is perfect in every way."
Wishing you a very blessed and safe Fourth of July.

Being humble is more important than being wise, because God doesn't need a proud mouth that speaks much, but a kind heart that listens.
Pastor Tim.
