Curiously Jesus tells a story about how persistence by Person "A" asking Person "B" for something changed Person "B".<BR/><BR/>However, when Person "A" asks God for something with persistence, Person "A" is the one changed.<BR/><BR/>It suggests that when it comes to asking God for something, the change that asking makes on us is more imporant than the thing received.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing your thoughts.Scott Brewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18090809236682750662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30534753.post-7247944317582645412007-12-05T18:01:00.000-08:002007-12-05T18:01:00.000-08:00Hi pastor,This reminds me of something I read this...Hi pastor,<BR/>This reminds me of something I read this past week - Luke 11:5-10, especially verse 8. How odd because you would think this man would have received the favor right away because he was asking from his friend. However it was his persistence/shamelesness that got him his request. This verse really spoke to me in that when the result or response to our prayer and plans are not as expected, it becomes a matter of faith and persistence. And that it doesn't mean God wasn't responding, as you mentioned already!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
