JABEZ’S PRAYER Saturday August 1, 2015
Text: 1 Chronicle 4:10 Memory verse: v 10
In
these two verses that say something about Jabez, he is remembered for a prayer
request rather than his heroic acts which made him honourable. This prayer is
what people love to pray always. In his prayer, he asked God to (1) bless him,
(2) help him in his work (extend my lands), (3) be with him in all he did, and
(4) keep him from trouble and pain. Jabez acknowledged God as the true center
of his work. Do you acknowledge God as source of your being and all that you
have?
Most
times we pray about God’s blessings. However, when we pray for God’s blessing,
we should also ask Him to take His rightful position as Lord over our work, our
family time, and our recreation. It is only when we have God at the centre of
whatever we do that such can prosper in our hands. Obeying Him in daily
responsibilities is heroic living. Do you obey God in all you do?
Food for Thought: Jabez got an answer because he loved God.
Prayer: O Lord, my God, help me to love you as much as you
love me.
