TODAY'S PROMISE

"Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to teach

them that they should always pray and never

become discouraged.  'In a certain town there 

was a judge who neither feared God nor respected

people.  And there was a widow in that same

town who kept coming to him and pleading for

her rights, saying, 'Help me against my opponent!'

For a long time the judge refused to act, but at

last he said to himself, ' Even though I don't fear

God or respect people, yet because of all the 

trouble this widow is giving me, I will see to

it that she gets her rights.  If I don't, she will

keep on coming and finally wear me out!'

And the Lord continued, 'Listen to what that 

corrupt judge said.  Now, will God not judge

in favor of his own people who cry to him

day and night for help?  Will he be slow to

help them?  I tell you, he will judge in their 

favor and do it quickly.  But will the Son of

man find faith on earth when he comes?"

(Luke 18:1-8 TEV)
