Last week in our journey through Romans 8, we were reminded of creation's groaning as it awaits the revealing of the sons of God. But, according to the Apostle Paul, creation isn't the only one groaning. Creation groans. We groan. The Spirit groans. As we live in the great "in-between" - the time between Jesus' 1st and 2nd coming- God ordains groaning as a tool of His grace. As sons and heirs, we are invited to groan. Not only does God give us permission to groan, but He also gives us a partner to help us in our groaning- the Holy Spirit. This week, we will take a look at the role of groaning in our life and community, not as a bad concession, but as a good gift from God.
