Day #282 – Persistence
Dear God I’m Grateful For Persistence
.
Persistence is continuing firmly or obstinately in a course of action in spite of difficulty or opposition. Faith requires persistence and continual belief in things we cannot see.
.
“One day Jesus told his disciples a story to show that they should always pray and never give up.
.
“There was a judge in a certain city,” he said, “who neither feared God nor cared about people. A widow of that city came to him repeatedly, saying, ‘Give me justice in this dispute with my enemy.’
.
The judge ignored her for a while, but finally he said to himself, ‘I don’t fear God or care about people, but this woman is driving me crazy. I’m going to see that she gets justice, because she is wearing me out with her constant requests!’”
.
Then the Lord said, “Learn a lesson from this unjust judge. Even he rendered a just decision in the end. So don’t you think God will surely give justice to his chosen people who cry out to him day and night?
.
Will he keep putting them off? I tell you, he will grant justice to them quickly! But when the Son of Man returns, how many will he find on the earth who have faith?””
Luke 18:1-8 NLT
.
The widows persistent faith is what brought her justice. If we say we have faith, but we are not persistent, then our faith was never solidified or rooted on a firm foundation. Without Faith it is impossible to please God and without persistence, it can be difficult to keep the faith.
.
““Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.”
Matthew 7:7 NLT
