Day 21
Genesis 27
Genesis 27:11-12
11 Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, “But my brother Esau is a hairy man while I have smooth skin. 12 What if my father touches me? I would appear to be tricking him and would bring down a curse on myself rather than a blessing.”
"I would appear to be tricking him,"... SERIOUSLY - That's candy coating it a bit don't you think! Your swindling your brother and straight up lying to your pops... Granted his brother Esau did not value his birthright, he still wanted the blessing that came with it.
We want to receive God's blessing, but our choices would reveal otherwise. That so reminds me of the foulest 3 letter word in the dictionary.
I want God to bless my health, BUT - I just can't stop shoveling unhealthy crap in my mouth. Sometimes I even have the audacity to pray to God; "Lord bless this Big Mac to the nurishment of my body. -AMEN!..."
I want God to bless my marriage, BUT - I won't stop looking at porn... Guys - Your wife loves you... That porn star does not know you exist...
I want God to bless my finances, BUT - I just won't spend less than I earn...
I want God to bless my life, BUT - I just wont trust him with one dollar out of every ten...
I want God to bless my ___________, BUT - ___________________...
EVERYDAY we have a choice set before us... BLESSING or CURSE... Our decisions will determine our direction and our direction will ultimately determine our destination! Is your BUT keeping you from your Blessing?
Hi Eric, I found your blog through your facebook post with Susannah Fleming. She is a friend of my daughter. Did you just begin your blog in January? Was just curious, do you have any older posts. I like it.
