[The Glory Unveiled]
“And in a similar way, the Holy Spirit takes hold of us in our human frailty to empower us in our weakness. For example, at times we don’t even know how to pray, or know the best things to ask for. But the Holy Spirit rises up within us to super-intercede on our behalf, pleading to God with emotional sighs too deep for words.” [ Romans 8:26 TPT ]
If there is one common trait among all humans, it is human frailty. Despite our outward strength, beneath the surface lies a burden of weakness. God intentionally instilled this need in us so that we may yearn for His assistance. Whatever we lack, God is abundant in—especially strength. When we turn to Him for help, His empowerment transforms our weaknesses into apparent strength. Consider Adam and Eve; their symbolic nakedness, representing weakness, is covered by God’s glory, making them appear strong. However, when they chose disobedience, relying on themselves, they realized their nakedness (utter weakness). It is God’s strength that conceals our weaknesses, as illustrated in the preceding text. At times, our human weaknesses may leave us unsure of what to pray for. In such moments, the Holy Spirit rises within us to super-intercede, overriding our feeble words and presenting His own to the Father on our behalf. Just imagine the remarkable results when God prays for you. Would you not prefer to rejoice in the intercessions of the Holy Spirit and embrace your weaknesses as they create opportunities? The apostle Paul, in 2 Corinthians 12:9, expresses his willingness to glory in his infirmities, allowing the power of Christ to rest upon him. Though you may be weak, your vulnerabilities can serve as occasions for the glory of God to rest upon you.
