The Bible
– The
Message
Romans
8:26-28
26–28 Meanwhile, the moment we get tired in the
waiting, God’s Spirit is right alongside helping us along. If we don’t know how
or what to pray, it doesn’t matter. He does our praying in and for us, making
prayer out of our wordless sighs, our aching groans. He knows us far better
than we know ourselves, knows our pregnant condition, and keeps us present
before God. That’s why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love
for God is worked into something good.
Thoughts:
There is such peace in these verses! Actually these verses
reminds us of the peace we have in knowing God as our personal Savior! When we
accept Jesus as our Savior, He provides His Holy Spirit to live inside of us and
to commune with God on our behalf. Paul reminds us that even when we are about
to give up (tired of waiting), the Holy Spirit is there praying for us. When we
have totally run out of words to pray, the Spirit interprets our moans and our
groans before the throne on our behalf. In fact, He knows us so well that He is
petitioning the throne of grace on our behalf. He has our best interest at
heart, and knowing that we really want to step above our weak sinful selves, He
keeps us present before God. Friends, as we live our lives loving God, praising
Him and glorifying Him, every aspect of our lives is worked into something
good, something beautiful for God! Whom then shall I fear? Why
then should I worry or complain? There is no god like this God of ours friend!
Know Him today and know the peace that surpasses all human understanding.
Experience His love that surpasses all other descriptions of love that you can
imagine. Know that everything is under control with God in charge of your life,
because these verses so vividly reminds you of that. Are you tired of living
life under your own power, and would like to know this Jesus of mine in a
personal way? I would be honored to work with, and pray for you, if you would
drop me an email using the contact information at the very end of this
devotional. I would love for you to know this peace that is ours as children of
God!
Prayer:
Lord Jesus, how can I say thanks enough for all You do
for me? So underserved, yet You loved me enough that You turned Your
world upside down by sacrificing Yourself in humility, all because of Your
awesome love, and so that I might have peace in knowing You. Thank You Lord
Jesus! Please tender the hearts of those that might read this devotional today
and may not have ever invited You to be their Mediator and Lord. Father, I know
that they have no control over the time they have left to make such a decision,
please may it be today that they allow You to take charge of their life? I
humbly ask all this in Your precious and all powerful name, Jesus my Lord and
soon coming King, AMEN!
