Tag: parable of the unjust judge

I cry aloud to the Lord,
and he answers me from his holy mountain. (Psalm 3:4)

This past Sunday, I heard a message on Luke 18 and the parable of the unjust judge.

I wonder how much confidence the widow had that the judge would respond to her cries. She had to know that he really didn’t care about her. Yet she had no alternative but to keep crying out to him.

But David had confidence that God cared. That when he cried out, God would answer.

And so though God may have seemed slow at times to answer, he kept praying and didn’t give up.

I was just thinking: When God is “slow” to answer my prayers, how confident am I that he will answer?

I want to have David’s faith.
