This Man JABEZ


 His mother had named him Jabez, saying, "I gave birth to him in pain." Jabez was more honorable than his brothers.(1 Chronicles 4:9-10). But see, his Mother's honor could not end the struggles in his life; he was in pain just like his name. From the time of conception we see pain, his childhood, we see pain with endless tears of sorrow. And even as a man, he still went through difficulties.
Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, saying, "Oh that you would bless me indeed and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from the evil one."(1 Chronicles 4:10) And God granted his request.
Jabez which meant pain was changed and his life took an about turn and his life was never in pain.
This is a similar story like in many peoples life where their circumference wall is made of unending pain,sorrow, sicknesses of all types. From birth, thinking the light will come as time goes but all is in vain. From rejection to hatred all by the society. But pardon, like him Jabez the Heavens will listen, the heavens will bend to pick your shatters in your tatters. Just like Jabez your cry will reach the high Throne and your story will change.
May our cries be heard by The Elohim, May He who heard Jabez cry and saw his restlessness see our situations in a unique way.
