One day Jesus told his disciples a story to show that they should always pray and never give up.
— Luke 18:1

Insight
To persist in prayer and not give up does not mean endless repetition or painfully long prayer sessions. Always praying means keeping our requests constantly before God as we live for him day by day, believing he will answer.
Challenge
When we live by faith, we are not to give up. God may delay answering, but his delays always have good reasons. As we persist in prayer we grow in character, faith, and hope.

“If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them gets lost, what will he do? Won't he leave the ninety-nine others in the wilderness and go to search for the one that is lost until he finds it? And when he has found it, he will joyfully carry it home on his shoulders.”
— Luke 15:4-5 NLT
Insight
We may be able to understand a God who would forgive sinners who come to him for mercy. But a God who tenderly searches for sinners and then joyfully forgives them must possess an extraordinary love! This is the kind of love that prompted Jesus to come to earth to search for lost people and save them. This is the kind of extraordinary love that God has for you.
Challenge
If you feel far from God, don't despair. He is seaching for you.

I would have lost heart, unless I had believed
That I would see the goodness of the LORD
In the land of the living.
— Psalm 27:13

It was Jesus himself who said that '"In the world you will have tribulation"' (John 16:33) and it was the Apostle Paul himself who said that "all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution" (II Timothy 3:12). We should not be surprised, then, if we encounter these things in life. Nevertheless, we should not ask God for tribulations and we should not believe God for persecutions.

Instead, we should ask and believe for good. We should believe that good is going to happen. In the words of our verse for today, we should believe that we will "see the goodness of the Lord." The Lord has made many promises in the Bible that good of various kinds will come to those who love Him. We should ask and believe the Lord for the fulfillment of these promises. We should have faith and hope in the goodness of the Lord.

Indeed, David tells us that he would have lost heart if he had not believed that he would see the goodness of the Lord. Even further, David tells us that he would have lost heart if he had not believed that he would see the goodness of the Lord "in the land of the living." David did not believe the Lord for good only in the next life, but for good in this life. He did not lose heart and give in to fear and dread about tribulations and persecutions because he placed his faith in the God who can come through with good things.

Although we live in a world full of trials, troubles, and tribulations, we should look to the Lord in faith for victory despite the evil. Although Jesus told us that in the world we would have tribulations, He also told us to '"be of good cheer, I have overcome the world"' (John 16:33). In Christ we are overcomers and we should put our faith to work by expecting to overcome.

Today, then, do not lose heart and give up. Instead, expect to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Expect to see good things come from the Lord.

"I will Sing Praises"

I will thank the LORD because he is just;
I will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.
— Psalm 7:17
Insight
During a time of great evil and injustice, David was grateful that God is righteous. When we wonder if anyone is honest or fair, we can be assured that God will continue to bring justice and fairness when we involve him in our activities.

Challenge
If you ever feel that you are being treated unfairly, ask the one who is always fair and just to be with you. Then thank him for his presence.

"He's My Light"

Psalm 27:1
The LORD is my light and my salvation--so why should I be afraid? The LORD is my fortress, protecting me from danger, so why should I tremble?
