WORD OF THE DAY----28/1/25
LUKE 18:1
Morning family, This is the word of the day today.
JESUS is talking about persistent prayer! He gives us a lesson of a widow who would not give up, even though she faced a mean judge. This is an encouragement for us not to give up until we get the answer we need. It is also an example of unrelenting faith.
Luke 18:1-8
New King James Version
The Parable of the Persistent Widow
18 Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart, 2 saying: “There was in a certain city a judge who did not fear God nor [a]regard man. 3 Now there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, [b]‘Get justice for me from my adversary.’ 4 And he would not for a while; but afterward he said within himself, ‘Though I do not fear God nor regard man,5 yet because this widow troubles me I will[c]avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.’ ”
6 Then the Lord said, “Hear what the unjust judge said. 7 And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them? 8 I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?”
