Romans 8:27
Are You Joined at the Spiritual Hip?
God is all knowing as Psalm 139:4 explains. “Even before there is a word on my tongue, behold, O LORD, you know it all.” He knows our thoughts, weaknesses, and heart better than we do. Romans 8:26,27. He knows our future. Acts 11:27,28. He knows what others are thinking, doing, and planning. He knows Satan’s schemes. There is no one to whom we can go who is more knowledgeable, loving, caring, wise, and invested in our best. When we begin our day bowed before Him, confessing our love, proclaiming His majesty, and thanking Him for His grace, His ears are tuned to our confessions, struggles, and needs. Our confidence to enter into our day, our inner peace, and joy aren’t in our circumstances and things beyond our control, but rather are in our loving Father in whom we have placed our trust. Whatever lies before us, we know our Father loves us, will be there for us, walk with us, and guide us.
The wise believer acknowledges God not only in routine blessings before meals but also acknowledges God in every area of their life. In other words, they are joined to Christ at the spiritual “hip.” They are united spirit to His Spirit from the time they open their eyes in the morning until they close them at night. Does that describe you?
Heavenly Father, You are the All KNOWING, omniscient Lord who loves us so much. Waken us to the gift of Your presence Who is present to guide us through every moment of the day. May we live joyfully because we are aware of Your presence.

INTERCESSOR
When God says something one time, we need to pay attention. When He speaks it twice in the same breath, we need to sit up and take notice. God voices two times that He gets it that there are times when we don’t know how or what to pray. But, we’re not to worry. The Holy Spirit does an internal investigation of our hearts. Then, He intercedes on our behalf. He speaks to God for us. How cool is that?
Holy One, What a joy to know that You INTERCEDE for me when I’m weak and don’t know what to pray. Thank You! I praise You! Please pass that along to the FATHER.
