The One Year Bible - Day 188

1 Chronicles 4 and we read of Jabez. There was quite a famous book called the "prayer of Jabez" which is perhaps drawing quite a lot from 2 verses but think about his prayer. Does your attitude match his prayer? Does your heart want God to expand your spiritual territories? I'm not sure about the keep me from trouble and pain bit but it appears that God honoured an honourable man. At the end of the day, it is a matter of whether we consider God a necessary burden in our lives or as the source of all blessing.
