19. 28 “From the dew of heaven     and the richness of the earth, may God always give you abundant harvests of grain and bountiful new wine. 29 May many nations become your servants,     and may they bow down to you.

20. May you be the master over your brothers,     and may your mother’s sons bow down to you. All who curse you will be cursed,     and all who bless you will be blessed.”

23. 39 Finally, his father, Isaac, said to him [Esau], “You will live away from the richness of the earth, and away from the dew of the heaven above. 40 You will live by your sword, and you will serve your brother. But when you decide to break free, you will shake his yoke from your neck.”

25. 26But he said, “I will not let You go unless You bless me!”
27 So He said to him, “What is your name?”
He said, “Jacob.”
28 And He said, “Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for you
have struggled with God and with men,
and have prevailed.”
Genesis 32:26-28

29. She was told, “Your older son will serve your younger son

but I rejected Esau.”
Romans 9:12-13

30. [Esau] didn’t sell his birthright because he was so hungry that he was about to perish…but because his was a desire of the flesh and he was willing to trade all of his spiritual heritage for a whim of the moment.

31. The man who had the birthright was in contact with God, and he was
the priest of his family.
He was the man who had a covenant from God.
He was the man who had a relationship
with God.

32. In effect, Esau said, “I would rather have a bowl of soup than have a
relationship with God.”

the Spirit wants.

43. What Next?
22 But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!

44. What Next? 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus
have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to His cross and crucified them there. 25 Since we are living by the Spirit,
let us follow the Spirit’s leading in
every part of our lives.
