Have you ever had someone in your life that didn't speak well and were difficult to understand? I am sure that I was that someone in my younger days. I had problems making the sounds when a "r" followed a letter, such as "brain", "train", "drain". While I thought I pronounced them correctly, they came out as "bwain", "twain", and "dwain". Thankfully, I had some assistance with proper enunciation and pronunciation.
Little children, first learning to talk, can be difficult to understand, too. It's not their fault, they are just learning. But, they will say something that I don't understand, and it happened with our two, and one of the parents will have to interpret what was said. They intercede for them by conveying what they are saying.
Today's word is Romans 8:26, ESV, which reads, "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."
Do you pray? Have you ever had a time when there was something overwhelming to pray about but you just didn't even know where to begin? Have you ever been at a lose for words when trying to ask GOD to help with a situation or a circumstance? Have you ever wondered if GOD knew what you were trying to express, though no expression was forthcoming? He does.
We all have those times in our lives that the situation is so desperate, so dire, that we don't even know how to pray. I can tell you that GOD knows what we need, He knows what is in our heart, even if we can't get it to come out of our mouths, even if what proceeds from our mouths makes no sense. The Spirit intercedes.
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
