Prayer And Persistence (Luke 18:1-8 con’t)
Prayer and persistence – not either or;
Right up the middle, mix them for more;
It’s not just praying, leaning on God;
Or just persisting, beating the odds.Growth in the spirit, heavenward bound;
Growth in your person maturity sound;
Mix with the J-stroke, flick of a wrist,
Keeps you on center, press for the best.Some press for holy, “All that You ask’s
Holiness of me, in every task”
’Cept, “I got Jesus, a husband I crave –
Spirit is lovely – but body He gave”.Some press for earthly maturity;
Quality context for all, we should see;
’Cept, “Without Spirit I’m car without gas –
Gone is persistence at doing my task.”Prayer and persistence – two axis, one graph –
Growth in both factors, fullness at last;
Car with its petrol; marriage – sustained;
Measure and stature of Christ, in His name.navigation
