Genesis Chapter 36 8-16-2019 www.dailythoughts1

"Esau took his wives, his sons, his daughters, and all the members of his household, as well as his livestock, all his cattle, and all the property he had acquired in the land of Canaan, and went to the land of Seir, away from his brother Jacob. Their possessions had become too great for them to dwell together, and the land in which they were residing could not support them because of their livestock. So Esau settled in the highlands of Seir. (Esau is Edom.)" Genesis‬ ‭36:6-8‬

Genesis Chapter 36 - the nation of Esau. Jacob left the land of his father to find a wife. His brother Esau received all of his father's possessions except the land. This is the birthright that God gave Jacob. Upon Jacobs return Esau leaves his homeland. These two fought in the womb, Esau married a foreigner while Jacob married from his own. Jacob did as his father wished, he was a wise man, Esau plowed his own trail, gained lots of things but did he really possess what is truly important? What is truly important in your life, possessions add up to nothing in the end. Birth right means eternity unless we set it aside. Glorify God with your life, this is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad.

What is God saying to me: Time is passing quickly. Choices matter not only for you but the next generations.

Dear Father, Your Love is growing within me, I thank You for this grace. I thank You for Your Holy Family and our family tree. I see the importance of things in the past and how they shape our future. Thank You for the tradition that has been passed down from generation to generation, this is my birth right. The possessions are yours, they will not go with me, my history and the stories written on my soul will go with me. Continue holding the pen and I will be obedient. Bless this day and all it has to offer. Triune God be my all, Triune God be my all, Triune God be my all.

Mary, Mother of Love, pray for us.
