Future Good
And
Momentary Indulgence
Were Squaring Off!
At Stake ...
A Mess Of Red Bean Stew
Against The First Born's Birth-Right!
The Struggle Was Real ...
Physical Hunger ... Against Spiritual Longing!
Love Of Almighty God ... Against Self-Love!
Rush To Idolatry ... Against Walk To Salvation!
The Result Of The Tussle
Will ... Forever
Change The Earth!
The Struggle Is Still Going On!
The King Of Love
The Good Shepherd
- The Lord Of Life -
The Angel Of The Covenant
The High Priest Of Our Profession
The Creator
The Redeemer
Our True Friend Was Watching!
He Is Still Watching ... Today!
Imagine ... If You Will
Twins!
One, Smooth Studious
Careful Caring Devoted
- A Homebody Farmer Shepherd -
Longing For The Priesthood!
The Other, Irreligious
Hairy Wild
Reckless Indisciplined
Interested Only In Wealth
Power
And
Unrestrained Freedom!
There Is Nothing New Under The Sun!
Theirs Is A Collison Of ... Ideals
With
Eternal Implications!
Somebody Is Going To Cry Crocodile Tears
And
Somebody Is Going To Have To Run
Far, Far, Away!
Sin Does Not Pay!
Jacob Was Righteous: He Loved The Son Of Man!
Esau Was Wicked: He Loved Mammon!
Jacob Wanted To Serve The Lord For Heavenly Reward!
Esau Wanted To Be The Lord Who Rewards!
Jacob
- By Deceit -
Tried To Help The Lord
And
Ended Up Running Away
His Life To Keep!
For 20 Years
He Looked After Greedy Uncle Laban's Goats And Sheep!
Esau Tried To Help Himself
By Trivializing His Birth-Right
And
In So Doing
He Brought Forth The Idea Of Planned Fratricide
To Regain What He Had Held
With A Careless Hand Light!
Be Ye Warned ...
We Do Not Help God
By Doing Wrong To Gain The Right!
All We Get For Our Base Endeavors
Is
Upon Our Prosperity A Blight
And
All Who Will To Serve The Almighty
Should Take This Revelation To Heart
And
Trust The Eternal God ... In His Providence
His Timely Blessing To Impart!
Believe It ...
The Lord's Ways Are Right!
His Timing Is Never Late!
Carnality Can Never Bless Divinity
So Do Not In That Diabolical Play
Choose To Participate!
Heads Up ...
Those Who Are The Blessed Of God
The Heirs Of His Sure Salvation
Will
Must
Wrestle With The Lord
In The Dark Night Of Despair
If
It Is Their Soul's Desire
To Meet The King Of Love In The Air!
Repentance Is A Blessing ...
We Must Confess All Our Known Sin!
We Must Repent Of The Sordid Past!
We Must Accept And Stand On The Promises Given
And
Declare Our Allegiance To The Promise-Keeper
And
Being Humble
- Of A Contrite Spirit -
Deliver Up A Broken Heart
And
Command The Blessing
From The Now Christ-Regenerated Heart!
Brethren,
We Must Not From Right Paths Ever Depart!
Be Ye Warned ...
Please Don't Be An Esau
Living Like A Louse
Doing What You Will
Of Earthly Power Being Carnally Jealous!
Seek After The Things Of God
Trusting Him For You To Do
And
Don't Be Licorish For
The Readily Available For The Asking
But Oh, So, Pricey
Delicious-Smelling
Sure-To-Be-Tasty
Red-Bean Stew
That Will Your Birth-Right Cost You!
What A Savior ...
Let The Lord Lead!
Carnal Lust
Is
Satan's Prized Steed!
Please Do Not This Race Horse Feed
And
You Shall Not The Prayer Of Remorse Need!
Let The Lord Of Glory Lead!
His Back Is Broad!
His Shoulders Strong!
His Blood Efficacious!
His Wisdom Eternity Long!
His Promise Is Certain!
His Faithfulness Sure!
Victory Over Sin Is The Promise
And
His Way Is Certain

He Has The Cure!
He Is The Door!
