Temporary Satisfaction

By Kay Heitsch

I want what I want when I want it! ~ Life Quotes ~

I heard a message this morning about Jacob and Esau. The message's point was about Jacob, but I thought about Esau. Look what he was willing to give up for temporary satisfaction!

You know he was not starving to death. He was hungry. I'm sure he had breakfast, and if he had waited, his mother would have fixed some food for him. But no, he wanted what he wanted when he wanted it! He gave up his birthright for a bowl of soup. (read Genesis 25:29-34)

What do we give up because we want what we want when we want it? Regarding food, many people give up their physical, mental, and emotional health. In other ways, we give up many things because we refuse to wait and get into trouble.

Our Bible verse says. "Sensible people are careful to stay out of trouble, but stupid people are careless and act too quickly." Proverbs 14:16 GNT

To stay out of trouble, we should be sensible people. We should not act too quickly.
