He Will Speedily Come to Aid
by Leah S. Carpenter
Jesus taught in this parable that we “ought always to pray and not to faint”. He continued to comment that we may cry day and night and he bear long with us, yet he will avenge us speedily. Is not this an example of man’s timetable versus God’s timetable? Faint not, praying child: continue in faith. By your timetable Jesus may be four days late, as when Lazarus died, but God—our sovereign King of kings, Lord of lords, Creator of the universe—works speedily on our behalf. And he is always exactly on time! Never a split second early, never a split second late. God may be bearing long with you to perfect and try your faith; when he comes to speedily avenge you, will he find faith in your heart? Pray on. Faint not. Believe the promise he gave you here. And remember, though the time seems long to you, God is speedily coming to your aid.
