Pleading with the Lord - Genesis 25:19-34

July 14, 2023

Pastor Hans Peters

Esau swore an oath, thereby selling all his rights as the firstborn to his brother, Jacob. Genesis 25:34 Then Jacob gave Esau some bread and lentil stew. Esau ate the meal, then got up and left”. … So, what is the lesson here? … Well, we can easily fall into the same trap, when we see something, we want, our first impulse seems to always be… to get it… and get it NOW! You might call this freedom of will… but, that is not necessarily God’s will. At first, we feel intensely satisfied and sometimes even powerful because we have obtained what we set out to get… But here regret might set in quickly, because: as it says: immediate pleasure often loses sight of the future… If you would like us to pray for you, please send your prayer request to: pastor@ustepin.com If you would like to see this or previous messages, either as video or audio versions, please visit us at: https://www.ustepin.com We feel God is blessing us as we create these weekly Sunday sermons and that is all the recompense we need.
