It is a physical and spiritual expression found throughout the Bible, symbolizing the human condition in a fallen world and the anticipation of divine intervention.<br><br><b>Old Testament References:</b><br>In the Old Testament, groaning is frequently associated with the suffering and oppression of God's people. In <a href="/exodus/2-23.htm">Exodus 2:23</a>, the Israelites groan under the harsh bondage of Egypt: "After a long time, the king of Egypt died. The Israelites groaned because of their difficult labor, and they cried out, and their cry for help because of the difficult labor ascended to God." Here, groaning is a cry for deliverance, and it reaches the ears of God, prompting His redemptive action.<br><br>The Psalms also capture the groaning of the righteous in times of distress. <a href="/psalms/6-6.htm">Psalm 6:6</a> states, "I am weary from groaning; all night I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears." This verse illustrates the depth of personal anguish and the earnestness of seeking God's intervention.<br><br><b>New Testament References:</b><br>In the New Testament, groaning takes on a broader theological significance. It is not only a response to physical suffering but also a reflection of the spiritual longing for redemption and the fulfillment of God's promises. <a href="/romans/8-22.htm">Romans 8:22-23</a> articulates this cosmic groaning: "We know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until the present time. Not only that, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies."<br><br>The Apostle Paul further describes the Holy Spirit's role in interceding for believers with groanings too deep for words (<a href="/romans/8-26.htm">Romans 8:26</a>): "In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groans too deep for words." This passage highlights the intimate involvement of the Spirit in the believer's life, translating human groaning into divine communication.<br><br><b>Theological Implications:</b><br>Groaning in the Bible underscores the tension between the present suffering and the future glory promised to believers. It is a reminder of the brokenness of the world and the hope of restoration through Christ. The groaning of creation and believers points to the ultimate redemption and renewal that God will bring about.<br><br><b>Practical Application:</b><br>For believers, groaning can be a form of prayer, an honest expression of the heart's deepest longings and struggles. It encourages Christians to bring their burdens before God, trusting in His faithfulness to hear and respond. Groaning also fosters a sense of solidarity with the suffering of others and the anticipation of Christ's return, when all groaning will cease, and joy will be complete.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(<I>p. pr. & vb. n.</I>) of Groan.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/4726.htm"><span class="l">4726. stenagmos -- a <b>groaning</b></span></a> <br><b>...</b> a <b>groaning</b>.
