description: Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed!1 Chronicles 4:10.WE know very little about Jabez except that he was more honorable than his brethren and that he was called Jabez because his mother bare him with sorrow. It will sometimes happen that where there is the most sorrow in the antecedents there will be the most pleasure in the sequel. As the furious storm gives place to the clear sunshine so the night of weeping precedes the morning of joy. Sorrow the harbinger; gladness the prince it ushers in. Cowper says:The path of sorrow and that path alone Leads to the place where sorrow is unknown.
