“That at all times they ought to pray and not to lose heart” (Luke 18:1). |
• Have you accepted the fact that one day you might face some serious problem without immediate resolve? How might you handle that? In Job’s case, his wealth, family, friends and health were stripped from him.
• Why does God allow such things happen to His people? What should our resolve be in such cases?
• What will the end of the world be like (cf. Luke 17:20-37)? If many people fall away, will you join them? How do you know? Can you be sure?
Jesus is preparing His people for the worst. He knows things will drastically change for the worse (18:31-34). His days on earth are limited. Once gone, they must live by faith.
Faith is essential to communion with God. Without faith, we have no hope. The strength of our faith comes from the time we spend with Him each day. Satan tries to bring dire circumstances on us so that we will lose faith and stop praying. God, however, wants to keep us praying because He wants to do great and mighty things through our prayers. It is not us doing the great things, but Him. We are reminded of His great power as we day and night cry out to Him in prayer and see Him answer prayer in His time.
Darkness will come. Will we continue to pray?
