Why Jabezweb?
Jabez is a character is the Bible found in the
middle of a long list of names in 1Chronicles 4. The name Jabez means
"pain" in Hebrew. A strange choice for a web design company name!
But there was something about Jabez that caused
the writer to stop his list and mention more than his name.
Verse 9 says: 'Jabez cried out to the God of Israel
saying, "Oh, that you would bless me indeed and enlarge my territory!
Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free
from pain." (NIV)
Something about that prayer resonated with God's
heart, because the Bible goes on to say: 'And God granted his
request' |
