And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that htough wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested. 1 Chronicles 4:10

There's a difference between being content and being satisfied. One of the primary reasons people are not where they want to be in life--are not happy--is that they are satisfied too soon. God wants you to be happy! He wants to bless you in ways that you cannot even imagine! But if we sit back and accept what we have and where we're at, we may well never see those abundant blessings. Don't be a have-not-because-ye-ask-not Christian; be a Jabez. Seize the day! Tell God exactly what you want...and expect great things!
