Keep Praying

Continuing our Sunday journey through Luke, we heard Luke 18:1-8 today and the parable of the persistent widow,
Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray always and not to lose heart. He said, ‘In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor had respect for people. In that city there was a widow who kept coming to him and saying, “Grant me justice against my opponent.” For a while he refused; but later he said to himself, “Though I have no fear of God and no respect for anyone, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will grant her justice, so that she may not wear me out by continually coming.” ’ And the Lord said, ‘Listen to what the unjust judge says. And will not God grant justice to his chosen ones who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long in helping them? I tell you, he will quickly grant justice to them. And yet, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?’

God's justice may not be the kind of justice that we pray for, but it will be just. 

Will the Son of Man find faith on the Earth when he comes? 

Not if we roll over and play dead in the face of the zeitgeist. 

Keep praying that people will continue to pray.
