My Thoughts- Romans 8
This passage is about the holy spirit. Reading this I just saw so evidently that God has given us the holy spirit, to be exactly what we need to strengthen our walk with God and make it through the rough spots in life. I believe the spirit works slightly differently in every different person, which makes sense because we all learn and grown in different ways. Particular verses in this section that really stood out to me are verses 5-8, and 26-27 (see below). This 2nd passage embodies something I've learned lately. Sometimes we have to chose between two good things, and we pray and pray about it, and we think we know what God wants, but we still don't feel 100% sure. And these verses remind us that God knows what's in your heart. He knows that you are trying to please Him, and He's not going to let you go where He doesn't want you, which I find to be so comforting.
Romans 8:5-8
Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God.
Romans 8: 26-27
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 through wordless groans. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.
