Jabez was more Honourable than his brothers. His mother had named him Jabez, saying, "I gave birth to him in pain." Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, saying,
"Oh that you would bless me and enlarge my territory!
Let your hand be with me,
and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain."
And God granted his request. (NIV)
I can't get over the fact that it was just that simple, Jabez
asked precisely and he got just that. It wasn't an ambiguous request. He didn't
put words like 'maybe' and 'if'. He grabbed it by the...Horns.
It’s the same in our everyday lives, whether you're into Judaism, Islam, Hindu or an Atheist. Here’s a wee little ethical fact, if you don't ask for it you won't get it. if you ask for something you actually don't want then you're kinda stuck in that muddle puddle you ordered subconsciously because YOU chose it, not anyone else. It is time we take responsibility for the subliminal or blunt 'mixed signals' we're putting out there.

Every day in all we do we ask for something, our actions,
thoughts, speech get us to places we either never planned on being, never
wanted to be or both. It’s time we all revaluate our silent pleas...What are
you asking for today?
