Let your ear be attentive and your eyes open to hear the prayer of your servant, which I now pray before you night and day for your servants...
LUKE 18:7-8 (MSG)
So what makes you think God won’t step in and work justice for his chosen people, who continue to cry out for help? Won’t he stick up for them? I assure you, he will. He will not drag his feet.
THE ESSENCE
Move forward, assuming that God advocates for his people.
DAILY FODDER
How does the knowledge that God works everything for the good of those who love him (Romans 8:28) impact your ongoing trust in him? So then, is he the first you turn to when you encounter trouble?
PRAYER
God of the universe, I'm impressed that you stand up for your people. Even though we're feeble in our faith, you advocate for us. Help me to direct all my concerns to you forthwith, so I can take full advantage of your generous nature. I'm trusting that you are not the foot-dragging type of god. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
