A Crowned Thorn

What is the value of a thorn in our Christian journey? First, we must identify what a thorn is. According to the Dictionary one definition describes a thorn as “a source of continual annoyance or trouble”. A thorn can cause an immediate pain from its puncture or it can cause constant irritation and distress. Thorns that appear as a source of trouble are usually not welcomed companions on our daily quest. But the thorns we encounter are useful despite their irritations and disruptions. Thorns come to challenge and to strengthen your faith, your character, and your witness as a child of God. Thorns are the mechanism from which you gain more than you lose. Thorns are the pathway to reaching higher heights and deeper depths of sanctification and glory. With each thorn that attaches itself to your life, you become more and more like Christ.

He Holds Me Steady

There is but one in whom we must remain and abide. Only one nurtures and sustains with both the natural and spiritual sustenance needed to survive and thrive in todays world.

The One in whom we can credit for our existence and perseverance through such trying times is Jesus. For Jesus gives us of himself freely and tirelessly. We are His beloved. He is the One who holds us steady in the face of pandemics, food shortages, energy crisis, civil unrest, injustice and the battles of our spirit and mind.

This is no ordinary love. This love fights for you, plans for you, covers you, and pushes you to rise through and above all that comes to tear down and to destroy you. You are because He is. He is the great sustainer and our champion. We are living and thriving because we rest in and abide under the shadow of His wings of love.

Because we are loved of Jesus, we are not walking this life alone. As His children, we are being guided, sheltered, and renewed daily by His spirit. Our ability to be steadfast in unsure times is because of the One who sits high and looks low is forever seeking to help His beloved to overcome and to prosper.

So, beloved, remember the One who is holding you steady. Seek to render up songs and praises of thanksgiving to the all seeing and ever present help of mankind. For if it were not for His unfailing love and steady hand of support, we could not be, all that we have become.


Journal Entry: Precious Lord, I am in awe of you. When I look over my life and all that I have come to be, it is because you hold me steady. You hold me through my pains and disappointments and you cradle me as you lead me through uncharted waters. You are the essence of why I can live with my head held high. Lord, you are the very source of my being and with my whole heart; I say thank you.

Now it’s your turn to let your soul speak. Grab your journal and write how God is your strength.
