Bible Note: Ryrie's Study Bible states, "The Holy Spirit helps our weakness (our inability to pray intelligently about situations) by praying with unutterable groanings. This is not the gift of tongues, for these groans are not in words. Such intercession is in accord with God's will (v.27)." (Romans 8:26) God is glorified despite our weaknesses and inadequacies! Some examples include Paul's thorn in the flesh, Peter's reluctance (at first) to witness to the Gentiles, and Timothy's 'discouragement' because of his youth.. Others include Isaiah and his 'unclean lips', Jeremiah's youthfulness, Moses's lack of gifted speech, and Gideon's place (least of the tribes) in Israel. But all of them overcame their weaknesses so that God would be glorified! Nolan |
