Paul in 2 Corinthians 12:7 mentions that he asked God three times to take from him what he calls a thorn in the flesh. Gods answer was, . . . My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness (2 Cor. 12:9). God tell us in 1 Thessalonians 5:24 Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it. We are to make ourselves available to the Lord and He then directs and uses us. Whatever Gods will is for us....He will accomplish His will for our lives if we allow Him too. We do not need to know the future because it is in His hands. If we live today faithfully serving the Lord, God will take care of the future and of course are present also. It is a matter of living by faith. We trust the Lord and that means believing what He has said. So He promises to guide and direct our lives...therefore we by faith accept that is what He is doing. It has been well said that God never asks to do anything that He does not provide the means for us to do it. God gives us the abilities and means to accomplish He will. 1 Corinthians 12 explains that God gives spiritual gifts to all believers to equip us to serve Him in the capacity that He desire. Some people are given the ability to teach, but others are not. If a person has the ability to teach and that was Gods will He would provide the opportunity to use the gift.
