Friday, March 26, 2021 Persevering in Prayer "So I sought for a man among them who would make a wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found no one" (Ezekiel 22:30 NKJV). In John 4, we find the story of a desperate father whose son was very sick. Although he was a nobleman, he amazingly humbled himself and asked Jesus to touch his dear son. Jesus's response, however, was quite unusual: "Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will by no means believe" (John 4:48 NKJV). Now, what kind of thing is that to say to a dad who just wanted his son to be healed? The fact is that Jesus wasn't really addressing this father. Rather, He was addressing the fickle crowd that only wanted to be entertained. Meanwhile, the persistent father was standing there, waiting, and he wouldn't give up. He said, "Sir, come down before my child dies!" (verse 49 NKJV). So Jesus told him, "Go your way; your son lives" (verse 50 NKJV). Why didn't Jesus simply respond to this father immediately? I think it's because Jesus wanted to draw him out and teach him that sometimes you need to keep asking, keep seeking, and keep knocking.   CONTINUE READING →
