Maryl and Maria talk about the unique story of Jaebez.
“Jabez called upon the God of Israel, saying, ‘Oh that you would bless me and enlarge my border, and that your hand might be with me, and that you would keep me from harm so that it might not bring me pain!’ And God granted what he asked.”
1 Chronicles 4:10
Jabez's name means pain and sorrow.
"he seems to have lived in dread that his name was prophetic for the way his life would turn out...so he cried out to God to bless him as part of God's covenant people."
Jabez had a fervent cry for God to help him fulfill the call on his life. Jabez's life needs to be put in context, he lived in a time where God punished people for their rebellion. (biblestudytools.com)
Jabez prayed for four things:
1. That God would bless him
2. That God would enlarge his territory
3. That God’s hand might be with him
4. That God would keep him from evil
"through the story of Jabez, God teaches us the importance of the relationship with him."
