Luke 18:7-8
And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them? I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?
--NKJV
In the name of the One who avenges the elect. Amen.
It is truly miraculous that anyone remains in the true faith. That in itself tells you it is God’s hands. But not only is it in God’s hands, God fights for His people. But bear in mind that our passage today is in the context of Jesus urging perseverance in prayer. Perseverence in faith is inseparably linked with perseverance in prayer. Therefore, watch and pray--not because it is a command, but because God promises to hear and answer your prayers. Amen.
Prayer:
Lord God, heavenly Father, avenge us quickly. Give us justice against our enemies; the devil, the world, and our sinful flesh, which would destroy our faith. Amen.
