[Propertalk] Persistence--staying in relationship with God

[Joe Parrish]

"The short story Jesus tells usually has a few people raising their eyebrows. One woman, after hearing this scripture said, "In other words, if I 'bug' God about something, I will get my answer?" Actually not! The meaning is rather, "Even poor mortals who feel put out will answer a request because of persistence.... How much more will God (who is your Father) graciously fulfill your requests." The persistence here is not he persistence of "bugging" someone -- but the persistence of staying in relationship with God as Father."
