2 Corinthians 12:1

Examining 2 Corinthians 12, Pastor Miles explores Paul's "thorn in the flesh," arguing it was not a physical ailment but the satanic-led opposition of false apostles, and uses it to address the difficult question of why God allows suffering in the believer's life. He concludes that God permits suffering—originating from Him, sourced through Satan—to humble us, refine us, deepen our dependence on Him, and reflect His glory, with the promise of an eternity free from pain.
