And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested. — 1 Chronicles 4:10 KJV
Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, “Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.” And God granted his request. — 1 Chronicles 4:10 NIV
Thought and Reflection
When we align our hearts and minds to the Lord’s plan and long to honour our LORD and His holy name, our Father is delighted to bless us in powerful ways.
Therefore, let’s first prepare our hearts on doing God’s will. Let’s not be scared to request God to shower His blessings upon other people and to also give the LORD our desires. Don’t be surprised by how God will bless us in the wake of our prayer.
My Prayer
Father God, please allow Your grace in the ways You shower me with your blessings and those who I cherish.
Let everyone know that these blessings don’t originate from our intelligence or skill but through Your grace. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
