Into double digits-Jan 10!
Speaking of double, today in Gen 25-26, we read about the twin sons of Isaac. The tricky and cunning Jacob, and the impetuous and rough Esau. One part sticks out to me, Ch 25 v 29-34. This is where Esau, who is exhausted from a hunt, agrees to give Jacob his birthright for some food.
Sounds crazy doesn't it...i mean giving up your future rights and security for a temporary remedy. Esau would become hungry again! But what do we give up with choices we make? What does it do to our security when we compromise our beliefs and take back our will. What foolish acts have we been willing to throw it all away over? You might say it was a permanent reminder for a temporary feeling.
The key is to think through our actions. Jesus even noted to "count the cost". What is temporary relief worth to you?
