Hey there BCU Fam!
For this post, because of the informal format, please tune into the podcast recording (click here or on the BCU avatar below) and refer to the written post for the highlights. We pray the post blesses and encourages you. If so, please thumbs up AND leave a comment! Thank you and enjoy the post!
Podcast highlights:
- I love vocabulary and word etymology (the history of a word or phrase shown by tracing its development and relationship).
- Last time we were together, we looked at the word importunity meaning no shame, without embarrassment, even when others cry “overdone” (i.e. accuse them of being extreme or excessive).
- This time, we look at the parable of the widow and the unjust judge.
KJV Scripture references
Luke 18:1-8
18 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;
2 Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:
3 And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.
4 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
5 Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.
7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?
8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall He find faith on the earth?
BCUFam, sometimes God doesn’t answer our prayers right away, but that doesn’t mean we stop asking. If a corrupt judge can be moved by a persistent widow, how much more will our righteous God do for His very elect (chosen) as we call on Him in faith and importunity? With the help of the Lord, we will keep praying, knowing that the Lord is a rewarder of those that diligently seek Him (Hebrews 11:6) Amen? Amen! Let’s pray about it!
Father, in the name of Jesus, as we come before You, we thank You for the parable of the unjust judge and widow reminding us to come to You in faith and importunity. We thank You for answering our petitions and avenging us according to Your will and timing.
As we continue to come to You in persistent prayer we will also continue to serve You and give You all the praise, glory and honor that is due Your name! In Jesus Name, we pray, Amen!
