Now He was telling them a parable
to show that at all times they ought to pray and not to lose heart, saying, “In a
certain city there was a judge who did not fear God and did not respect man.
There was a widow in that city, and she
kept coming to him, saying, ‘Give me legal protection from my opponent.’
For a while he was unwilling; but
afterward he said to himself, ‘Even though I do not fear God nor respect man,
yet because this widow bothers me, I
will give her legal protection, otherwise by continually coming she will wear
me out.’” And the Lord said, “Hear what the unrighteous judge said; now,
will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry to Him day and night, and
will He delay long over them? I tell you that He
will bring about justice for them quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will
He find faith on the earth?”
Certainly Jesus knows His Father, and He is
my Father too. God has a friendly face
and is the most just and generous force there is. If only I give Him my steadfast loyalty, my
Father will move heaven and earth for me.
My Father does not begrudge me, but delights in giving to me and enjoys
my joy. For this reason, turn your hope
and your strength to God, because he will make your dreams come true before
your very eyes.. In Jesus name I pray
Amen.
