Groaning Together | Cozy Afternoon Walk: Romans (S1), Ep.23

Welcome to Cozy Afternoon Walk — a short pause in your day to sit with Scripture, one verse at a time.Today's passage: Romans 8:22-23"We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly while we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies." (NIV)There are nights when the ache feels like it belongs to no one but you — the body that won't rest, the prayer that seems to hit a ceiling. But Paul says the whole creation is groaning too, the way a woman in labor groans, waiting for what's coming. Today, we look at why that groan isn't a sign that something is broken in us — it's a sign that something is still alive.This episode is part of our season through Romans.
