Sunday Scripture
Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong. (2 Cor 12:8-10)

I'm doing some Jabez praying right now. I just replace Jabez with my name.
ReplyDeleteGirl, start claiming your blessings!!
1 Chronicles 4:10:
10 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.
I'll spare you my thoughts on the prayer of Jabez and it's followers. Suffice it to say that I am among a group of believers that questions the "inspiration" of many of the scriptures.
ReplyDeleteSo, asking God to bless you...say with a job that has great bennies, that he would be with you and keep you from evil...is questionable?
ReplyDeleteAll I will say is
You have not because you ask not.
