Furled eyebrows. Slumped shoulders. And a distinct series of grunts and groans that conveyed frustration. Yet the corners of her mouth started to slip into a smile. As the previous customers departed, she now pleaded to us, “Will somebody help me out here and tell me the 7 sins?” Evidently while she bagged groceries, she had posed the same question to the cashier, and she honestly wanted to know. I obliged, “My understanding is that there are many more than 7 ways to sin.” From there, we talked about reading the Bible and how the Lord can teach and give understanding. Such an encouraging exchange reminded me of Jabez. In 1 Chronicles 4, Jabez asks the Lord to enlarge his territory. Tonight, indeed the Lord had walked us into blessed circumstances. And I ask the Lord to increase your territory as well and bless your next visit to buy groceries.
