Every temptation is an opportunity for faithfulness. Gluttony is when we allow food to dominate our desires. Genesis 25:29–30 Once when Jacob was cooking stew, Esau came in from the field, and he was exhausted. 30 And Esau said to Jacob, “Let me eat some of that red stew, for I am exhausted!” We make dangerous decisions when we’re dominated by our desires. Genesis 25:31–32 Jacob said, “Sell me your birthright now.” 32 Esau said, “I am about to die; of what use is a birthright to me?” As long as we’re thinking about today, we’ll throw away tomorrow. Genesis 25:33–34 Jacob said, “Swear to me now.” So he swore to him and sold his birthright to Jacob. 34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew, and he ate and drank and rose and went his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright. Esau gave up his destiny because he gave in to his desires. Discipline is directing our desires towards something better. 2025 Challenge: https://lp.life/2025 Good Friday Service: April 18th 6:30pm Easter Weekend Devotionals: https://www.lifepointohio.com/blog
