Take Refuge in Him // Carey Dyer
I came across a great reminder in scripture today, and it gave me one more thing to be grateful for during this Thanksgiving season.
Rom. 8:26-27 – “In the same way the Spirit also helps us in our weakness, because we do not know what to pray for as we should, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with inexpressible groanings. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because he intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.”
What a comfort! When we don’t even know how or what to pray, the Holy Spirit intercedes for us; and He always prays according to the will of God.
Sometimes our grief, pain, or lack of understanding is so deep that all we can do is lay prostrate in His presence – unable to clearly express what’s going on in our hearts and minds. Guess what? He hears that prayer! The Spirit intercedes on our behalf. Our lack of language doesn’t exceed His understanding.
Let’s give thanks to Him for that. Praise the Lord with me as you listen to this song, which reiterates Psalm 34 — “Blessed is the one who takes refuge in Him.”
