Read Luke 18:1-8
18 Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to teach
them that they should always pray and never become discouraged. 2“In
a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected people. 3And
there was a widow in that same town who kept coming to him and pleading for her
rights, saying, ‘Help me against my opponent!’ 4For a long time the
judge refused to act, but at last he said to himself, ‘Even though I don’t fear
God or respect people, 5yet because of all the trouble this widow is
giving me, I will see to it that she gets her rights. If I don’t, she will keep
on coming and finally wear me out!’ ”
6 And the Lord continued,
“Listen to what that corrupt judge said. 7Now, will God not judge in
favour of his own people who cry to him day and night for help? Will he be slow
to help them? 8I tell you, he will judge in their favour and do it
quickly. But will the Son of Man find faith on earth when he comes?”
Think
It is important to realise that this is not a passage about asking until
you get. Jesus is saying that the Father
is nothing like the corrupt judge - he will do what is right, he will not be
slow to help.
Pray
Lord help me to know that you are just and good - that my future is safe
in your hands.
