Now Jabez was more honourable than his brothers, and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, “Because I bore him in pain.”
And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, “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 may not cause pain!”. So God granted him what he requested. 1 Chronicle 4:9 – 10 NKJV.
Jabez was more honourable than his brothers, God granted him his request.
Honourable - Deserving or winning honour and respect, bringing distinction or recognition, possessing and characterized by honour.
Honour – High respect, as that shown for special merit; esteem. Good name; reputation. A mark, token, or gesture of respect or distinction.
Labeled all his life, Jabez turned to the only one who could turn things around for him. And God granted his request.
True honour comes from God who knows our heart. And whom He honours, He protects.
Shalom,
