#ISSA SNACK!

Then Jacob gave Esau some bread and lentil stew. Esau ate the meal, then got up and left. He showed contempt for his rights as the firstborn.  Genesis 25:34 NLT

 

One of my mentors dropped some game on me nearly 10 years ago that has always stuck with me.

I was working on a deal at the time with a friend and we'd tried to bring in my mentor. After getting the details we were anxious for his thoughts.

My mentor simply asked, "Y'all chasing snacks or want to eat a meal?" Meaning if we were willing to do the work, the opportunity could be structured far greater than it currently was.

Sometimes our "hunger" for a goal, status, or person is so hearty we decide to exchange what we've already been granted for the low in a moment of weakness.

Esau chased a snack, one measly plate - but sold his entire inheritance as the firstborn for it. The birthright was rightfully his; yet Esau's hunger compromised his reasoning.

#Issa snack always ready, but a whole meal takes time to prepare and inherit. Stifle hunger long enough to get that plate that's rightfully yours.

God's Morning and Be Blessed.
