And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright. -Genesis 25:31

Good morning and God bless you. While meditating this morning it came to me the question, what do you value?  In the story behind the scripture above we see twins striving to get the better of the other. 

Esau the eldest was brilliant as a hunter perhaps capable of great feats of strength that required little thinking. 

Whilst Jacob used more of his mind and wit to secure a trade epic in its inequality. 

Though Esau obviously was not as bright as his brother he was not ignorant of the customs and traditions of his time. 

He knew that the first born received the greater of inheritance while the others born after got less. 

His choice to give up his inheritance shows us how you protect what you value. 

And that value can’t always be determined by the present. A lump of coal over time can become a diamond. 

The story is such a great lesson in patience. Esau was only valuing the present but didn’t consider the harvest value (potential)of his present seedling. 

I encourage you today to always consider what you value and not just in its present state, but always.
