A RIGHTEOUS PRAYER!
1 Chronicles 4:10 – Devotional
1 Chronicles 4:10
“Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, ‘Oh that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.’ And God granted his request.”
Working for the Lord has never been easy. When God enlarges our territory of service we need more and more of His strength. It is impossible to really do His work without His blessing and power.
Jabez asked the Lord to enlarge his territory. His prayer was not to be sent to some other territory, but that his sphere of influence would be multiplied. The Lord heard that sincere prayer and so will He hear our honest prayer.
It is not what we do for the Lord that makes the difference, but what the Lord does in and through us. John the Baptist was a powerful preacher of truth who called sinners to repent, but his real mission was to announce the arrival of Messiah!
Two thoughts I would like to share from my experiences: Never look at others as being insignificant. Let them know they are not alone. Realize that nothing is insignificant to the Lord. Charge into the task He has given you and allow Him to slay the giants that stand in the way of the work of the Lord.
May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
