We can look at Esau and judge him for giving up his birth rite for some measly stew. However, in today’s message, Pastor David reminds us that we do the same thing all the time. We think we will be happy and content “if we can just get that one thing.” Whether it be a car, a nice vacation, even just a delicious meal, there is always something we think we need. We seek to gratify our immediate desires, often at the expense of our long-term comfort and God’s plan for our future. Don’t be like Esau.
