Our Scripture reading today is Luke 18:6-7.
Verse 7, "And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?"
Those who are going through difficult times need the assurance that God is with them and He hears their cries.  He is the one true faithful, loving God.  While we do not understand His ways, He is in complete control.  God is always good and will judge righteously.  I came across the following description of our Judge:
  • We come to a judge of perfect, good character.
  • We come to a judge who loves to care for His children.
  • We come to a judge who is kind and gracious.
  • We come to a judge who knows us.
  • We come to this judge with an advocate, a friend who will plead our case before the judge.
  • We come to the judge with promises to encourage us.
  • We come to the judge with the right of constant access, to a judge who has a personal interest in our case.
We can rejoice in the goodness and mercy of our God!
