Thoughts for another day

Today's verse: Lk. 18:7. And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? (KJV)
(Pls. read the above before you read further. Thanks)
“Courage” says the Lord for He at all times is the One who gives us hope and courage. God is simply awesome and those of us who’ve experienced His awesomeness have no words to thank Him, except tears of gratitude flowing freely in wondrous marvel at His goodness and His gracious love.
And so in this Scriptural episode today, where Jesus talks about the need to persevere in prayer, He means we mustn’t be tired praying to God for whatever we want, for God will answer no matter what, simply because He loves us and loves to answer our prayer, but unlike men who oftentimes want to show how nice they’re and shower things immediately, God wants us to be ingrained in His ways for His ways lead to eternal life and God always wants us to wait, both to be tutored in His ways and also to see the power of His hand as a mark of our trust in Him. He wants to see us trusting Him even in desert times and truly He is pleased when we do that and blesses us a lot more than if He would have blessed us immediately.
Our Scripture refers to a man avenging his people and if a man does it, how much more will God do to those who are His elect, crying out to Him day and night. In fact He also bears with our difficulty as we go through it and He picks us up lovingly, hastening to rush His help in time so that we don’t crumble. And even as you wait, let me tell you from a recent personal experience, He loves and endeavors bringing small gifts to us telling us to be firm and wait; for as He reveals later our reward is truly huge in both heaven and earth. Dare to believe Him and hold on?
