This widow had to persevere for very long to finally get a hearing from that judge. And even then the man acted out of self-interest. God is completely different. We can be sure, Jesus says, that the highest Judge (see Genesis 18:25) has an open ear and heart for all his chosen ones. Truly, he will soon provide justice for his loved ones. How wonderful to know this! A stronger encouragement to keep on praying is unimaginable (see also Luke 18:1).
7 And will not God give justice to his elect, who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long over them?
