Welcome to the Corner Bible Church Podcast This week, Adam and Davis go over Part 8 of our “Refiner” series. Some of the things we talk about: -Davis might be working on a series over Job in the future. -The four points aren’t a checklist but a continuous thing to do as you walk through lament with someone. -While listening, make sure you are listening for the things not said as well. -Make sure in all relationships, you point them towards Christ and not ourselves. Christ can help you in those situations as well. -Even though it will be quicker and easier to help them fix their problems, it is detrimental long term for their growth.

Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me. But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong." (2 Cor. 12:7-10) * What do we do when the thorn stays longer than we want it to? * What do we do when God says no when we ask for the trial to end? * Paul finds himself in a season where the thorn - the trial - is not leaving. * He shows us what to do when the thorn stays. * Interpret the Thorn * Submit the Thorn * Boast in the Thorn * “Trials are where learned theology becomes lived theology.” * or in other words - I AM ENOUGH FOR YOU. * Charles Spurgeon once said - I have learned to kiss the waves that throw me against the rock of ages. * When Paul talks about boasting in his weaknesses here - he is not making light of it - or being arrogant or flippant. that’s exactly where Paul finds himself in 2 Corinthians 12.He tells us we must: Interpret the Thorn "So to keep me from becoming conceited because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass me, to keep me from becoming conceited. Submit the Thorn Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me. But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' He says - My GRACE - is sufficient for you Boast in the Thorn: Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. He is saying - If God's power is truly made perfect right here - where I lack - when I am weak - why should I be afraid or hide my weakness? For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong."
