We like to be friends with the cook hoping that we
would be served a larger portion. We wish we had a pull with the police (a
contact person) just in case. We make friends with…
1Cron 4:9-10 tells us that Jabez prayed that the Lord “would
be with him.” Do we realize how great a privilege it is to have Him on our
side? In Lion King when Simba wakes up in a foreign land Pumba and Timon, two
good friends, take council to decide what they would do with him. Very soon they
realize what a blessing it can be to have such a friend on their side.
When we pray we need to be aware that we have to do
with the God and Creator of the universe. He is able to do what we ask Him for.
It is not just simply taking a chance. Still we have to approach Him with
reverence. Remember, He is the one who decides what He will do.
