The Spirit Helps Us In Our Weakness
Likewise the Spirit helps us in our
weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but that very Spirit
intercedes with sighs too deep for words. And God, who searches the heart,
knows what is in the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the
saints according to the will of God.
We know that all things work together
for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.
We all should be stretched beyond our
comfort zones in life. No matter what we do, or are, there is always room for
stretching. Sometimes the way to stretch spiritually is to share our faith with
someone we don’t know very well, or to give an offering that is far beyond what
you usually give, or to confront someone about a situation.
While we stretch our spiritual
muscles, we will probably feel discomfort. We are not used to doing spiritual
things outside our comfort zones. Just know that God’s grace will be sufficient
for us, no matter what. Our sufficiency is found in Him.
When you boldly step out in faith and
obedience to God, you may be surprised at how a “good stretch” can strengthen
your spiritual life.
Our faith is
stretched
by exchanging
our weakness for God’s strength.
