Don’t Sell
Your Birthright for a Cup of Soup!

God has a good plan for our lives…
•
God started a good work in us and will complete it…
•
Eyes have not seen what God has in store for us…
Esau was a man who got so hungry that he sold his birthright to his
brother Jacob for a cup of soup. The story is found in Genesis 25. You might think who would do something so
ridiculously irresponsibly crazy?
The same was true with Adam and Eve. Why did they eat from “that” tree? After
all, they had a well-supplied garden with everything they needed.
But, when you think about it; are we any different from Adam, Eve, and
Esau when we consciously sin? Are we selling our birthright for a cup of soup?
I don’t care if the devil offers
a zillion dollars, breath taking thrills, and immeasurable powers. Watch Out! It’s
perishable junk with deadly strings attached. The same junk he tried to entice
Jesus with, Matthew 4:1-10.
What does it profit a man to gain the world
and lose himself?
Luke 9:25. Jesus suffered to give us a priceless inheritance when He shed His
Blood. The life that God has laid out for His children is better than anything
that we could ever imagine.
We have angels watching over us, Psalm 91:11. God will
fight for us, Exodus 14:14. He will
provide for us, Psalm 23:1. He will
give us an abundance of good things, Deuteronomy 28:11. God has healed us, I Peter 2:24. We have the comfort of the Holy Spirit, John 16:7. And, when we leave this world, we go to be
with Him in Paradise, II Corinthians 5:8.
Why Give All This Up for a Cup of Soup?
WHY?
