life of Jabez

IF IT IS SOMETHING YOU CANNOT UNDO, ACCEPT IT AS A REALITY BUT NOT AS A DESTINY
Verse 9 Jabez was more honorable than his brothers. His mother had named him Jabez, saying, "I gave birth to him in pain." Jabez' name had become synonymous with pain. There was no way for him to change it so he did not try to change it. He accepted it as a reality but it was not his destiny to be a paingiver or a sufferer of pain. It makes a lot of difference when you distinguish between what is a reality and a destiny.
