Have you ever witnessed a child taking their first steps? Maybe you are a parent or a sibling who encouraged a baby in your family to try again after many falls!
Even after they stumbled and fell, cried and begged you with teary eyes, to pick them up, you insisted that they keep on trying!
How about riding their first bicycle? They fell and maybe even rejected that bike, but you wiped the scrapes and grazed skin and encouraged them to get back on the bike and try again.
I am sure that baby in your family, is now all grown up and running around on their own! Even though it was a difficult moment for them, you did not to give up, but encouraged them.
There was a woman in the Bible who had an experience like this. She was up against a judge who didn’t care about her situation at all. In fact, he was known for having no regard for God or man. All reasons were pointing that woman to give up, but she did not accept to. She persevered until she got her answer!
“And he would not for a while; but afterward he said within himself, ‘Though I do not fear God nor regard man, yet because this widow troubles me I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.’” Luke 18:4-5
That judge saw that she would NOT give up and so he was forced to GIVE IN!
Do the same, go against this injustice that you are facing by faith. Perhaps your battle looks like a losing battle. Perhaps you have been rejected, cast aside and given no hope at all. Don’t give in! Use your faith and persevere until you receive your ‘YES!’
May the God of Bible bless you!
Bishop Bira Joshua
