Never take the Blessings of God Lightly But Value it Highly

TO REMEMBER:

See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble & defile many. See that no one is sexually immoral, or is godless like ESAU, who for a single meal sold his inheritance rights as the oldest son. Afterward, as you know, when he wanted to inherit this blessing, he was rejected. Even though he sought the blessing with tears, he could not change what he had done.

? – Heb.12:15-17

TO UNDERSTAND:

Esau, born with Jacob, his twin brother, was the eldest son of Isaac & Rebekah. The first born, specially dedicated to GOD had a special inheritance of blessing but Esau despised his spiritual status while Jacob longed for it & thus inherited it. And, all that followed next was in fulfilment of a prophecy that Rebekah had got when she was pregnant (Gen.25:22-23).

One should not give up on the Lord or what He has for His people – even when feeling weak! The Apostle Paul cried out three times about the thorn in his flesh. The Lord answered and told Paul, “my grace is sufficient for you: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.” (2 Cor.12:9)

We should never take the blessings, promises or all that GOD has for us lightly but value it highly than all else, with a grateful heart!
