Avenge the Widow

But in that city was a widow, and she kept coming to him, saying, ‘Get me justice from my adversary.’

Luke 18:3

This woman evidently had a suit of some kind against someone who had done wrong. She was asking the judge to do what was right, and to punish the offender. We do not know the specifics of her suit, but it seems from the way Jesus presents it, we are meant to take the widow’s grievance as legitimate.

Heavenly Father, thank You for Your care for the less fortunate, and for teaching us to care for them. Your love, grace, mercy and wisdom are amazing. You alone are able to bring final justice for any wrongdoing. We will look to You for vengeance, and not to ourselves. You are the perfect Judge. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise you, Amen.
