We live in a day when we can get what ever we want within a few days.
Need a special part from the parts store they will have it over night to the store, amazon prime lets you get things in a few days, walmart will ship it to the store and you can pick it up there.
In a conversation with Mac he was fleshing out the idea that many times we treat prayer like a vending machine.
I walk up to the vending machine and see the options.
I pick the option I like the most and hit the corresponding numbers and out pops what I want.
For me, it would be the new Reeses Outrageous my current favorite.
We often expect prayer to be like this.
We see what we want and so we go to the Lord and ask him for our order and expect the Lord to pop out the answer we ask for.
When I look at the scriptures, this is not always the picture I get.
Yes, I would say we do see quick healings in scripture but we also see people enduring with Jesus in prayer.
Luke 18
The “courtroom” was not a fine building but a tent that was moved from place to place as the judge covered his circuit.
The judge, not the law, set the agenda; and he sat regally in the tent, surrounded by his assistants.
Anybody could watch the proceedings from the outside, but only those who were approved and accepted could have their cases tried.
This usually meant bribing one of the assistants so that he would call the judge’s attention to the case.
The widow had three obstacles to overcome.
First, being a woman she, therefore, had little standing before the law.
In the Palestinian society of our Lord’s day, women did not go to court.
Since she was a widow, she had no husband to stand with her in court.
Finally, she was poor and could not pay a bribe even if she wanted to.
No wonder poor widows did not always get the protection the law was supposed to afford them!
Now that we understand something of the setting of this parable, we can better understand what Jesus was teaching.
Basically, He was encouraging His disciples to pray, and He did this by presenting three contrasts.
