Every place you walk on will belong to you. Your territory will go all the way from the desert to Lebanon. It will go from the Euphrates River to the Mediterranean Sea.

I will drive out nations ahead of you. I will increase your territory. Go up three times a year to worship me. While you are doing that, I will keep others from wanting to take any of your land for themselves. I am the Lord your God.

They will be like the dust of the earth that can’t be counted. They will spread out to the west and to the east. They will spread out to the north and to the south. All nations on earth will be blessed because of you and your children after you.

He gives those who are thirsty all the water they want. He gives those who are hungry all the good food they can eat.

Jabez cried out to the God of Israel. He said,“ I wish you would bless me. I wish you would give me more territory. Let your power protect me. Keep me from harm. Then I won’t have any pain.” God gave him what he asked for.

But you can kill your animals in any of your towns. You can eat as much of the meat as you want to. You can eat it as if it were antelope or deer meat. That is part of the blessing the Lord your God is giving you. Those who are“ clean” and those who are not can eat it.

It reaches from the River of Egypt to the great Euphrates River.It includes the land of the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites,Hittites, Perizzites and Rephaites.The Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites and Jebusites also live there.”

After some time the king got over his sorrow because of Amnon’s death. Then King David longed to go to Absalom.

Some people with them began to wish for other food. Again the Israelites began to cry out. They said,“ We wish we had meat to eat.

God is my witness that I long for all of you. I love you with the love that Christ Jesus gives.

David longed for a drink of water. He said,“ I wish someone would get me water from the well near the gate of Bethlehem.”

God, you are my God. I seek you with all my heart. With all my strength I thirst for you in this dry desert where there isn’t any water.

Instead, you will eat it for a whole month. You will eat it until it comes out of your noses. You will eat it until you hate it. The Lord is among you. But you have turned your back on him. You have cried out while he was listening. You have said,“ Why did we ever leave Egypt?” ’ ”

I can’t wait to be in the courtyards of the Lord’ s temple. I really want to be there. My whole being cries out for the living God.

Lord, I long for you to save me. Your law gives me delight.

Their hearts will be filled with love for you when they pray for you. God has given you grace that is better than anything.

So the place was named Kibroth Hattaavah. That’s where the bodies of the people who had wished for other food were buried.

My heart is filled with longing for your laws at all times.

Now you have run away. You longed to go back to your father’s home. But why did you have to steal the statues of my gods?”

I really want to follow your rules. Keep me alive, because you do what is right. Waw

He longs for all of you. He is troubled because you heard he was sick.
