March 1st, 2017 by Pastor SolleyRom 8:26-27 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
KJV
I want to continue this morning with the thought of feeling all alone in trials and troubles. We at times do think we are the only one going down the pathway before us, the only one to experience the doubts and fears of life. This is not so and we see in the bible how the men and women of God have had to deal with trials and troubles. One problem we have is that we often read the Bible in a detached manner, we remove ourselves from the feelings and heartaches of others almost thinking that those in the Bible were supermen and women. They were not, they were just as we are. Consider the 11th chapter of Hebrews and the great victories those people had in the Lord, yet for everyone of them it was in great trial and affliction. I will not state the trials they all had but Noah for instances must have saw friends and family mocking him and then refused to receive God’s invitation to salvation. How must that man have felt as God shut the door to the ark, how many tears would have been shed over the loss of loved ones? How did Abraham feel as he raised the knife over his son to take his life? Did he feel alone, did he understand? That answer was yes and then no, but Abraham did not question God, Abraham obeyed. Moses had to give up everything he had and everything he knew to stand with Jehovah God, it cost Moses all. For every great victory in Jesus Christ we can find a trial in the life of that man or woman. How did they get through it all, how did they stand, how did they remain faithful? They found help and strength in their time of need just as we can today. (Rom 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.)
