S – Jacob said, “Swear to me first.” So he swore to Jacob and sold his birthright to him. ³⁴ Then Jacob gave bread and lentil stew to Esau; he ate, drank, got up, and went away. So Esau despised his birthright. 

Genesis 25:33–34 CSB

O – Commentary:

Esau eagerly took Jacob’s bait and fell into the trap. He ate and left too quickly to have been near death (25:32). The final comment on the passage explains that Esau showed contempt for his birthright, considering it worthless (Heb 12:16). It is foolish to sacrifice spiritual blessings to satisfy physical appetites (cp. 3:6).

 New Living Translation Study Bible 

A – We do the same thing as Esau did in our daily lives.  We choose things that are temporal or self seeking instead of things that have eternal value.  For example, if we choose sleep over spending quiet time with God, we may be well rested but not know God.  We need sleep.  But, are we willing to adjust our schedule so we can have time with God?

R – Heavenly Father, you are omnipotent – you know all things.  Help us to make wise choices that will help us to grow in our relationship with you.   Help us to see the spiritual significance of our decisions.  Give us the wisdom we need for today.
