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.

Find Grace


#heardanduplifted #soulspeak #journal #devotional #dailydevotional #grace


Isaiah 43:2 speaks of passing through the waters and the waters not overtaking them. As children of the King, we are promised success in our lives. Success to overcome any obstacle and any test. As a chosen people we can expect success and rest knowing we are built for adversity.

We are no ordinary beings.

We are regenerated souls with the power of the living God living on the inside of us shepherding our way through the journey of life. Daily, we face many challenges. Often our flesh is in conflict with our renewed Spirit. Or we find ourselves on paths of turmoil and disappointments that make us feel there is no hope to press on.

But we are no ordinary beings.

Despite what we face, we have been given grace from on high to endure and to overcome anything. Wherever we find ourselves on this journey of life, remember that if we have found our way to the path of struggle, we must also seek the grace that is provided for the journey. God has provided a treasure trove of grace to help us, but we must seek and ask for it. God knows the journey we are on and He requires us to take the steps toward Him so that He can provide the strength and the guidance needed to get through it.

We are no ordinary beings.

Because the greater One, our Lord and Savior, resides on the inside, propelling us forward in Him through all things. Remember, you are never alone. There is nothing on earth that can overtake you. Face it, seek His help, and watch yourself win over the things that seem impossible to overcome.

What God says is true. Through Christ Jesus, we are more than conquerors (Romans 8:37), so if we face great hardships, His grace helps us overcome them and succeed when we seek His love and walk in the prepared path toward victory.

Therefore, trust in the availability and the abundance of His grace. Confidently move forward, knowing you belong to Him and are well-equipped to overcome anything.
