Genesis 27: 36-40

Remember the promise God made to you. Spend your time preparing for it. Make the most of opportunities when they arise.

Jacob knew that Esau had the birthright as the first born son, but he also knew the promise God made Rebekah – the elder shall serve the younger.

Esau never appreciated what was his due – his birthright and father’s blessing.

While Jacob wanted it, and made preparations for it.

So no matter what the world says “should” happen, it’s what God says that matters.

Take what God has promised you and prepare to receive.

So don’t be like Esau, appreciate God and his promise. Strive to be like Jacob, know what you desire from God and go after it full force.
