Usual Sunday


Rom 8:26-27
Romans Ch 8 speaks volumes about the Holy Spirit. Backtracking a bit,
16: The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,

26: In the same way, the Spirit too comes to the aid of our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit itself intercedes with inexpressible groanings.
27:And the one who searches hearts knows what is the intention of the Spirit, because it intercedes for the holy ones according to God's will.

v27 spoke to me today for many reasons, here are three:
  • Searching hearts, is a process of not accepting things at face value but instead seeing from a number of points of view
  • Intention of the Spirit, is a matter of faith as well as understanding
  • Intercedes according to God's will, this harkens back to my faith statement, an additional building block in my faith
