Gen 25:34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread & lentil stew, & he ate & drank & rose & went his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright. Ex 16:2-3 The whole congregation of the people of Israel grumbled against Moses & Aaron in the wilderness, & the people of Israel said to them, “Would that we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the meat pots & ate bread to the full, for you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger.” Num 13:30-31 Caleb quieted the people before Moses & said, “Let us go up at once & occupy it(The Promise Land), for we are well able to overcome it.” Then the men who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we are.” Num14:2 All the people of Israel grumbled against Moses & Aaron. — As the story goes Esau traded his birthright for a bowl of stew. The Israelites wanted to go back to slavery under the Egyptians. Because of all their grumbling & complaining they missed getting to go into the promised land. There were two, Joshua & Caleb that trusted God & believed that ALL things are possible with God. We too, today can be the ones that truly trust in His greatness to overcome the giants or we can trade our freedom for a handout or a bowl of stew! It is all about choice. Our choice. Love Mel
