1 Chronicles 4:10 ~ God granted what he asked

 

1 Chronicles 2:55
The clans also of the scribes who lived at Jabez: the Tirathites, the Shimeathites and the Sucathites. These are the Kenites who came from Hammath, the father of the house of Rechab.

1 Chronicles 4:9
Jabez was more honorable than his brothers; and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, “Because I bore him in pain.”

 

1 Chronicles 4:10

1 Chronicles 4:10
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.

We always hope and ask for new Blessings.  Jabez was not only named for pain, but he was named after his own hometown.  Pain.  

If we suddenly love rain, then this is because rain is missing. And we see clearly the necessity for water.

Hebrews 13:8

New International Version 

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. 

 New Living Translation 

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. 

 English Standard Version

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

Psalm 102:27,28 

Thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end…

Romans 8:28 

And we know that for those who love God 

all things

 work together for good, 

for those who are called according to His purpose

In the Scriptures, these few verses of Jabez both explain Psalm 139, teaching of God's Plans, written before we were born. And explains Romans 8:28.

Matthew 19:23-28 E

 And Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly, I say to you, only with difficulty will a rich person enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.” 2

5 When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?” 

26 But Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, 

but with God 

all things are possible.”

One of the characteristics of the Nature of God, He has a fondness for Surprise.  And enjoys the unlikely becoming the hope, the way and the Joy Jesus told us in John 14, 15, 16 and 17.

Jesus explains the Joy in His Life as He prepares to die. He moves past what the sadness is, past what is hard to bear, and wants His Life to be Joy. He strives upward in so many levels. Creating the Way, Truth and... Life. 

Jesus Christ is Joy.

Isaiah 45:8

You heavens above, 

rain down my righteousness; 

let the clouds shower it down. 

Let the earth open wide, 

let salvation spring up, 

let righteousness flourish with it; 

I, the LORD, have created it.

Abba, Father,

Your Son, Jesus, taught us He is the Lord of

the storm and the wind.

Yours is the Universe

 upheld by Your Word.

Yours is the Power.

Yours is the Glory.

Your Heavens above

Rain down upon us

in Jesus' Righteousness and Mercy,

we pray.

Let the clouds shower down upon

the dry and thirsty land.

Let the earth open wide

for gentle rain, and not the storm,

we pray.

Let Your Grace and Salvation

be abundant life to

the wildlife and forests,

the farmers

and the people.

Let Your Mercy and Goodness

help the righteous in Hope

and Faith

to flourish in Your Works.

Lord, You have Created

Your Good

Good

Good

Creation.

In Jesus, we ask

Dwell in us, Father

Send Your Holy Spirit as Helper

Dwell in those we love

and 

Help us to seek You first

And in Jesus,

we will finish well.

Thank you - healed in our Prayer request for Edward

who aspirated during his colonoscopy

and did heal well and sleep well.

And for decisions

we make, daily.

We ask for Your Favor, Father.

We ask for Your Favor

for Gracious

Weather

to 

ALL

of Your Children.

Especially the people of Maui.

Please, Lord Jesus Christ.

The drought across the borders

and the middle,

the drought circling Atlanta,

Mercy upon us, Lord Jesus.

In God, we will trust. 

Help us, Lord Jesus, and we shall be helped. 

Father, we Trust YOU

to move mountains.

In Your Good Will,

in the Hope and Future

You have planned,

we ask Your Goodness

We ask Your Mercy

on our Nation in Jesus

and Justice

and Liberty

and the world, Your Good Creation.

 And Jesus said to him, 

“‘If you can’! All things are possible for one who believes.” 

 Immediately, we cry out and say, 

“I believe; help my unbelief!”

Your Good Will,

be fulfilled,

accomplished,

glorified,

treasure in our hearts,

warming our hearts on Your road

We ask 

in the 

Highest Name of Jesus.

Amen.
