Birthright and Destiny

God has given us good appetites — for progress, success, respect, comfort, achievement — but in a broken world those good things can become gods that ruin us if left unchecked. Genesis 25's story of Jacob and Esau is a warning, not a relic, showing how desperation and unmanaged desire can cost us the very destiny God has for us. The hope is that through Jesus and the help of the Holy Spirit, we don't have to fight our appetites alone.
