Luke
18:1 KJV: “Men ought always to pray, and not to faint."
NIV: “Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.” I like the title from NIV “The Parable of the Persistent Widow.” The word, persistent means continuing, or acting for a long time or longer than usual time. 2: stubbornly determined (Merriam-Webster). (Suggest reading Luke 18:1-8).
I read part from page 130 from “Heaven Is So Real” by Choo Thomas, the quote impressed me. Jesus said to Choo Thomas, “I love persistent children. People’s persistence proves their faithfulness, and by this I know that they believe I hold the answers to all their prayers.”
This statement from Jesus should encourage us to walk in the Word of God, to live according to the Word of God, to pray according to His principle and to believe all His promises for our needs and for our healing powers. We are encouraged to believe that “God’s way is perfect; the word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him” (Ps. 18:30).
Song: Let the Lord Have His Way
Let the Lord have His way
In your life every day.
There’s no rest, there’s no peace
‘Til the Lord has His way;
Place your life in His hand
Feel secure in His plan
Let the Lord . .
Let the Lord have His way.

So let us trust the Lord today!
