FOOLISHNESS: is having or showing a lack of good sense or discretion
GREED: is a selfish and excessive desire for more of something than is needed
Considering these characters shows that FOOLISHNESS OF GREED is an expression of senselessness even in excess. The fact remains that such people see themselves wiser than others not knowing it is a direction to future regret knowing fully that everything in excess is a problem.
Esau because of his foolishness for food and lack of self-control loss his birthright. While Jacob’s greed for power and influence made him run away from peace he does enjoy at home and became a labourer to be able to make living.
“And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents. And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob. And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint: And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom. And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright. And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me? And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.” Genesis 25:27-33 (KJV)
The two boy has their covet another, became predator and prey to another in the future. When you are covetous, greed set in which bring in comparism where you start to determine how you want to be better than another. Unnecessary competition begins and then you start to look for the downfall and perhaps the life of another. Run from this and be contented with whatever you have which is wise indeed.
I pray this morning for you that greed will not take you away from destiny, whatever that will not give peace you will not interest you in Jesus name. Amen. As you go out doing your business, every barrier before you are broken, and doors are open for testimony for you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Good morning and happy new week to you.
