²⁷ And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because^[a] the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. (Romans 8:27 ESV)

Consider for a moment the fact that God searches our hearts and we are given the Spirit, and so God knows the mind of the Spirit. How is this manifest in our lives?

Well, for one, God knowing our hearts means that He well understands our deepest desires and intentions. This may be of some concern at first, but this means that God looks past what we do superficially, and understands our deeper selves. The deeper self does not wish to sin, even when we do and God knows this.

He knows the mind of the Spirit because it is His mind too. He imbedded within us both a Spirit and a DNA that seeks Him. We may feel very different from time to time, but what is within us speaks to God and speaks back into our soul. These are a deeper groaning that only the soul, Spirit and God hear that resonates from within us.

Reflect on: Just how the Spirit intercedes for us in every aspect of our lives.
