2 | What about the Jabez Prayer? | 1 Chronicles | userdoe213 | 8506 | ||
From the reading in 1 Chronicles 4:9,10, we learn the following about the character of Jabez: 1. He was more honourable than his brethren (vs. 9). 2. He was one who worshipped God (vs. 10). 3. He prayed to God with an attitude of humility (vs. 10). 4. He asked God to (1) bless him; (2) enlarge his coast; (3) be with him; (4) keep him from doing evil, that it might not grieve him (vs. 10). In other words, he was anxious to grow in the knowledge of God and to do His Will and not his own. The Apostle Peter exhorts us as Christians to aspire to do the same thing (1 Peter 2:2; 2 Peter 3:18). Appreciate your question and pray that the Lord will continue to bless you as you study His Word and seek to do His Will. Mike |
