1. Esau, Isaac’s firstborn son, was hungry and sold his birthright to his brother Jacob for a bowl of lentil stew. Jacob took advantage of this to obtain the birthright. Esau ate and drank, got up, and left as if nothing had happened. Thus, he treated this birthright lightly and despised it (Genesis 25:27-34).
2. Will we also sell our birthright for something we find attractive? If someone offers us something that sparks our interest, will we easily give in and exchange the opportunity to reign with the Lord for mere whims or fleeting pleasures of the world? (Hebrews 11:24-26).
3. The birthright is something extremely precious in our lives. We do not want to lose the Lord’s blessing for anything, nor renounce the fulfillment of God’s promises. Let us not sell the birthright for anything (Hebrews 12:16).
4. “Today we are in the eleventh hour, and God is calling you to complete this work! In this last hour, workers are not required to have a degree in theology or formal religious education. All who love the coming of the Lord and want to fight for the kingdom of God can participate” (Daily Food, book 5, week 2, Friday, p. 32).
