DAILY READINGS: 2 Chronicles 31; Ezekiel 47; 1 John 1 to 2:11

Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears. Hebrews 12:16-17

The birthright should have been Esau's through birth—a double portion of property, priest of the family, to be an ancestor of the Messiah. But he sold it cheaply! Others have sold their souls also—Pilate for popularity; the rich young ruler for money; Felix for past sins. Esau wept for lost blessing but not for the lost birthright, so will men when they grieve of the evil that sin brings, but not the sin that brings evil!—Jim Pizzulli

What will you do with Jesus? Neutral you cannot be;
Some day your heart will be asking, “What will He do with me?"—Author Unknown
