Paul says that he has a "thorn in the flesh", some weakness that persistently bothers him and forces him to admit humility and reliance on God. That feeling of weakness is, of course, not foreign to us as we look at ourselves nor as we look at those around us. So why does God allow us to have weakness and why does he allow those around us, maybe especially those who lead us, to have weakness too. Study along this week to learn from Paul what do with your and others' thorns.
