“There was no deception here, Jacob was as straightforward as you could be…
He gave up the eternal for the temporary… so he despised or cared so little about the birth rite, in comparison with gratifying his appetite that he gave it away…
There was no remorse following this loss… it was like he left a meal at Taco Bell…
Jacob took it, but Esau was more than willing to give it… it was this characteristic that disqualified Esau from receiving this blessing from God…
Esau’s appetites controlled him, not the Spirit of God…
It wasn’t that he had sinned that he was mourning, it was that it cost him something…
God has blessed us with so much… don’t sale it for a careless, convenient, and ultimately unfulfilling bowl of stew…”
