    based on 4 ratings
     | 16,474 views

    Jabez' mother named him 'Sorrow,' but the LORD kept this man of prayer from experiencing it. We ought to pray faithfully to God, asking Him to help us in any weighty task and to bring about what is dear to our hearts and according to His will.

    Turn to 1 Chronicles 4... In the book of 1 Chronicles, there is a man given honor in the middle of a genealogy of very important people, including many kings. His name is short, so we don't have a Maher-shalal-hash-baz. We have Jabez, essentially pronounced "Ya-Bates" in Hebrew. Many have ...read more

    God is our strength and refuge in the gloomiest moments of our lives. Let’s run to Him for shelter from the storm, and in the case of tragedy, especially so. Pray for those affected in the Norway shootings, that they may find their refuge in God.
