II Corinthians 12:7-10
Excerpted from: Faith (Part Seven)God mercifully allowed Paul a problem to keep him ever mindful of his dependence. The truly humble are knowledgeable of their dependence and they cry out to God continually for help. Let us get this straight. Theirs is not just a feeling of weakness, because everybody experiences weakness—the converted and the unconverted. The people with pride experience a feeling of weakness too, and they compensate by flaunting what they think that others will accept and bring praise to them. It is a true recognition of their need for what God only can supply: His Holy Spirit, His love, His faith, the forgiveness of sin, we could go on and on. As long as a man continues to depend on himself, this world will continue as it is. Nothing will change. It is said in the beginning in Genesis 3 so simply: Adam and Eve told God, "We don't need you," without actually saying the words.
II Corinthians 12:9
Excerpted from: Faith (Part One)His strength is shown to be our salvation through our weaknesses and that suits God just fine because it does wonders for our attitude about ourselves and our attitudes about others. That falls right in that section where Paul says that he asked God three times to heal him and God said, "No, No, No." Paul learned humility because God said no. So he also learned to be patient, and he learned, too, that despite his weaknesses that God continued to supply his strength, his need, every day, so God's strength was made perfect through Paul's weaknesses.
