WOORD VAN DIE DAG:

JABES SE GEBED:

[1 Kronieke 4:9-10]

9. En Jabes was meer geëerd as sy broers; en sy moeder het hom Jabes genoem, en gesê: "Ek het met smart gebaar."

10. En Jabes het die God van Israel aangeroep en gesê: "As U my ryklik seën en my grondgebied vermeerder, en U hand met my sal wees en U die onheil afweer, sodat my geen smart tref nie!" En God het laat kom wat hy begeer het.
