Luke 18:8 (KJV)
I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
Barnes' Notes offers this commentary: "The danger is not that God will be unfaithful—He will surely be true to His promises. The danger is that His elect, His afflicted people, will become discouraged, fail to persevere in prayer, lose confidence in Him, and, under heavy trials, sink into despondency. The sole meaning of this phrase, therefore, is that there is more danger that His people will grow weary than that God will be found unfaithful and fail to avenge His elect."
Faith prays without ceasing.
The only reason one would stop praying is that they find no value in it. Religious prayer that becomes vain repetition fits this description. True prayer pleads with God rather than becoming an empty routine.
Faith prays without fainting.
Faith does not grow discouraged. It trusts that God is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
Faith prays without condemning God or twisting Scripture.
It is striking that Jesus used the example of an unjust judge—one who neither feared God nor cared for man—to teach a lesson about God's justice. Yet, as the years have passed, I have become increasingly aware of people who accuse God of monstrosities and twist Scripture to do it.
When the Son of Man comes, will He find faith? He will find few truly praying, many unwilling to trust Him, and a world that uses the Bible to condemn the very God who gave it.
