 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?”
