“He Will See That They Get Justice,
And Quickly”
Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them
that they should always pray and not give up. He said: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared what people thought. And
there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him
with the plea, ‘Grant me justice against my adversary.’
“For some time he refused. But finally he said to
himself, ‘Even though I don’t fear God or care what people think, yet
because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so
that she won’t eventually come and attack me!’”
And the Lord said, “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. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
Luke 18:1-8
We
know that God is kinder and more powerful than the judge in this parable. We
trust Him, for He is good and wise and sovereign.
Your
duty and task is to pray.
God
will answer, but you have the simpler part, which is to ask.
Delay is not denial so keep praying.
