Blessings
Oh that you would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that your hand would be with me, and that you would keep me from evil, that I might not cause pain. I Chronicles 4: 9-10
I recently pulled out this little book that touched my life in years passed, well about 9 years passed. This book was given to me by a dear friend.. It made a huge impact on my life then and now again close to ten years later. This little verse is hidden in scripture. It is called the Jabez Prayer. The Lord led me to pick this book up one weekend when all the family was sick and we were lying around recouping.
I have now put this verse on note cards and displayed them in my home. I pray this prayer daily. I helps me to focus on my purpose. My god given call to reach out to others. Whomever God puts in my path for the day I want to be ready. I do not want to miss a single blessing from Him. What a tragedy it would be to stand before my Lord and him say. “You just were not paying attention and missed so many blessing I had for you.” I am ready for Jesus to open up the path before me only His path though. I do not want to go on my own anywhere. I want to be in His wing and under His umbrella. His plan and protection are so important to me. If I am in His will I am ticking off Satan ROYALLY. Therefore I want to be on the victorious team of Christ. If I am living for an audience of ONE--Jesus Christ, than everything that comes my way will and does pass through His hands…good, bad, ugly or painful. He has the plan. I am to obey. I am human. I will make mistakes and mess up. The last part of this scripture verse is so important to me. I want to cause pain to NO ONE.
If you are ready to show the love of Christ to those around you take this challenge. Pray this prayer each day and open your heart to whomever crosses your path. You will have divine appointments daily. I am always asking God “Put someone before me?” someone who need to know Jesus and his love. Smile always. Say Hello to everyone. Slow down. You don’t want to miss the Blessings He has for you.
