7 And will not God do right in the cause of his saints, whose cries come day and night to his ears, though he is long in doing it?

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Luke 18:7

Commentary on Luke 18:1-8

(Read Luke 18:1-8)

All God's people are praying people. Here earnest steadiness in prayer for spiritual mercies is taught. The widow's earnestness prevailed even with the unjust judge: she might fear lest it should set him more against her; but our earnest prayer is pleasing to our God. Even to the end there will still be ground for the same complaint of weakness of faith.
