Romans 8:26 “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 with groans that words cannot
express. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because
the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God’s will.”
Someone asked C.S. Lewis, "Why do the righteous suffer?"
"Why not?" he replied. "They're the only ones who can take
it." I think we can take it better those who don’t know the Lord because
we have Him and a future hope on our side to give us grace to endure. We are
made new again when we receive help for our weakness.
A man visited an orange grove where an irrigation pump had broken
down. The season was unusually dry and some of the trees were beginning to die
for lack of water. The farmer giving the tour then took the man to his own
orchard where irrigation was used sparingly. "These trees could go without
rain for another 2 weeks," he said. "You see, when they were young, I
frequently kept water from them. This hardship caused them to send their roots
deeper and deeper into the soil in search of moisture.
“Now my trees are the deepest-rooted trees in the area. While
others are being scorched by the sun, these trees are finding moisture at a
greater depth."
When we receive help for our weakness, we find our moisture,
blessing, help, and strength in the Lord.
Our lives on Earth are a
training camp to ready us for Heaven. Don’t make a terrible ending to your
life’s journey by giving up --- Finish your God given course well. Meanwhile, don’t desert your post, stay in the word and
make your life Christ-centered.
You know I love ya, Don
