Then he will answer from inside and say, ‘Don’t bother me! The door is already locked, and my children and I have gone to bed. I can’t get up to give you anything.’
Luke 11:7
Well, yeah, that’s the response we expected! I’ve buttoned up the house, the kids are finally asleep, and I don’t want to be disturbed. Sounds just like any average father.
The Greek here indicates that this guy doesn’t even get out of bed to answer. Keep in mind that back then the one to two room house was more common than nowadays.
Heavenly Father, You are righteous, You are just, and You are pure! How much in our lives could be different if we would depend upon You more? I know You are not silent. I will live to find the knowledge of You. I love You. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
