Luke 18:1–8 teaches that the Season of Delay is not a sign of God’s absence, but the place where He calls His people to persistent, faith-filled prayer. Through the contrast of the unjust judge and the persistent widow, Jesus shows that delay exposes the danger of losing heart and reveals the faith that keeps coming. God’s character and God’s timing assure us that He will bring justice, and until Christ returns, the kept heart is the heart that does not lose heart.
