What Mess are You settling For?

Remember the story of Jacob and Esau in Genesis 25. Esau was the older of the two sons and had the birthright. This meant he inherited the bulk of his father’s estate. One day he came in from the field and was exhausted. Jacob was cooking stew (KJV pottage). Esau said give me some stew and Jacob said sell me your birthright. Esau said I’m about to die what use is my birthright to me? So he sold his birthright to Jacob. Esau settled for a mess of pottage. What mess are you settling for?
