PERSISTENCE WITH THE JUDGE

PERSISTENCE WITH THE JUDGE
Today we continue looking at the parable of the widow and the judge, in which Jesus taught His disciples to pray without giving up. For some time [the judge] refused (Luke 18:4) the womans plea. Even though the answers to our prayers are not always immediate, that doesn’t mean they are never coming.
Jesus concluded His story, Finally [the judge] said to himself, Even though I don’t fear God or care about men, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she wont eventually wear me out with her coming! (vv. 45). The judge did not cut her a break, but used a legal word: I will see that she gets justice [what is rightfully hers].”
Gods promises must come to pass. The integrity of His name and His Word calls us to be persistent in prayer. God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill? (Numbers 23:19).
Jesus explained, Listen to what the unjust judge says. And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly (Luke 18:6 8, emphasis added). Jesus said, in effect, If a man who doesn’t acknowledge God gives a woman he doesn’t like the justice she deserves, how much more will God, who loves you, see to it that you get justice and quickly! God will not hesitate to give justice to His chosen ones, those who have received His promises as a spiritual inheritance.

Prayer: Father, help me to be persistent in prayer. I know that You are a faithful God who desires to answer my petitions.In Jesus name.

Thought: Plead your case based on Gods Word and His integrity.
