Last night at church, we mentioned some of these verses. What they said really stuck with me, so when I got home and was reading my bible before bed, I looked at them a little closer.
It is an encouragement to me to read about how, when we don't know what to pray, the Holy Spirit intercedes for us.
26 Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.
27 And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.
28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
29 For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.
30 And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified.
(Romans 8:26-30)
It is an encouragement to me to read about how, when we don't know what to pray, the Holy Spirit intercedes for us.
Also, it is an encouragement to know that for those whom God has called (predestined), He will justify (declare right in His sight) and He will glorify (receive resurrected bodies).
So many times, I have heard this passage referenced, but never have I really taken in what it means.
This is a promise from God that we will one day be perfect in His sight and live forevermore to glorify and praise only Him!
I hope that you have found some encouragement in His Word today. Thank you for reading.
In God, Emily
