Podcast 29.3 Transcript
Welcome to Thursday Thoughts at Resonant 7, where we reflect on the reality of God and resolve to let it resound in our lives, repeatedly. Let’s think about this.
I am weakness full of weakness
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. Romans 8:26 ESV
We are weak. This is one of the first things the Holy Spirit reveals to us. Thankfully when He does we are already engaged in receiving His help. He helps us pray the very things we need the most, needs too deep for words. Thank Him for revealing Your weakness to you.
At Thy sacred feet I bow
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. Romans 8:27 ESV
As we humble ourselves before Him, he prays for us according to the will of God. That surrender and submission is crucial to our embracing the work of the Spirit in our lives. He searches our hearts and prays for us. Thank Him for praying for you.
Blest divine eternal Spirit
In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory. Ephesians 1:13-14 ESV
He is blessed and blesses us by sealing us as a guarantee of our eternal inheritance from God. Give praise to the Spirit who for helping you believe and then sealing your faith.
Fill with pow’r and fill me now
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope. Romans 15:13 ESV
He fills us with His power and from that power ushers belief. When we believe God brings joy, peace and hope abundantly into our lives. Without His filling none of that would be possible. Ask for that filling again today and every day until you see Him face to face.
Take a few moments to talk to Jesus about what has come to your mind, or listen to what He is saying to you, then I will read our text once more, with the refrain.
I am weakness full of weakness
At Thy sacred feet I bow
Blest divine eternal Spirit
Fill with pow’r and fill me now
Take the mindfulness of God’s presence cultivated in these last few minutes into the next ones and beyond. Until next time, Be Resonant.
