One of my favorite parables is found in the New Testament, the book of Luke, chapters 1-18.
In this story, Jesus is telling us about a judge who neither feared God or man. There is also a persistent widow demanding justice from her adversaries.
The judge was neither interested nor had the time but had come to realize that unless he heard this woman out and gave her her day to speak her rights, she’d never leave him alone. And the judge saw that she got the justice she deserved.
Luke 18:1 NLT “One day Jesus told his disciples a story to show that they should always pray and never give up.”
Never giving up! Not only in praying and giving thanks continually but believing in what his word tells you. It’s one thing to present your prayers to the Lord but you have to believe everyday in every situation that one day your day of justice will arrive.
These can be prayers for healing, peace, joy, a broken relationship, a broken you, a job, financial help; you know your needs, you know your prayers. The key is to ask or present your cares to our Lord Jesus and then continue to thank him for your answered prayer. “That’s what we call Faith.” (Favorite line from The Preachers Daughter)
Luke 18:8 NLT “I tell you, he will grant justice to them quickly! But when the Son of Man returns, how many will he find on the earth who have faith?”
Hebrews 11:1 NIV “Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.”
Your prayers may not be answered in a day, week, month, or year but be persistent and keep your faith. God is always faithful; on this, you can believe. Stay faithful, have a blessed day and thank you for joining me. 🥰
