Help from the Holy Spirit

“The Spirit comes to the aid of our weakness.”
Romans 8:26 NEB

The Spirit comes to the aid of our weakness. What a sentence worthy of a highlighter. Who does not need this reminder? Weak bodies. Weak wills. Weakened resolves. We’ve known them all. The word weakness can refer to physical infirmities, as with the invalid who had been unable to walk for thirty-eight years (John 5:5), or spiritual impotence, as with the spiritually “helpless” of Romans 5:6.

Whether we are feeble of soul or body or both, how good to know it’s not up to us. The Spirit himself is pleading for us.
