named “Jabez” because he was born in pain; we have no commentary
on what is causing his pain. The Hebrew word for “harm” may be
translated as physical harm. Also, the Hebrew word for “harm” may
be translated “evil” suggesting that Jabez wanted protection from some
sinful effects. Whether Jabez wanted protection from physical harm
or sinful effects, the point is the same. Sin brought harm into Jabez’s
world and he trusted God to overcome sin’s evil effects.
Take note that:
1. Jabez was born in sorrow, but he cried to God and God
changed his history.
2. As long as you know God and cry to him, the story of your life
will surely change for good.
“And Jabez was more honourable than his brethren: and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, Because I bare him with sorrow. And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested.”
This prayer is composed of four parts. First, Jabez asks God to bless him. Second, he asks God to enlarge his territory or increase his responsibility. Third, he prays that God will be with him and stay close. Lastly, Jabez asks that God keep him from harm so that he will be free from pain.
God shares His glory with no one else. He is in the business of carrying out His desires and making complete successes of His own plans. The book of Chronicles is a book of success, God’s success.
