Pastor Eric's Words of Redemption
Bible verse:
Romans 8:22–30 (NIV) -- 22 We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. 23 Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies. 24 For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? 25 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently. 26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God. 28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. 29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. 30 And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.
My take for today:
The empowerment of the Holy Spirit.
My prayer:
Father, I thank you for considering our weaknesses to live a victorious life in Jesus Christ by giving us the Holy Spirit to help our infirmities as we struggle in our relationship with You, the world, and the Devil. Now, Lord, endue us with the gift and its continuous flowing for all to know that we are your children. In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
