Do You See the Big Picture?

By gracelead

Temptations entice all of us.

If we focus solely on immediate gratification, we are more likely to give in to them.

Esau couldn’t see past his immediate hunger.

This short-sightedness cost him a great deal. Gen 25:29-34.

In Hebrews 12:15-16, God tells us to examine ourselves and not be like Esau.

Lord, help us lift up our eyes to see the big picture.

And Lord, as You lift our eyes, lift our minds, too, to seek the Fruits of the Spirit that are our helpers each day as we resist those temptations. Yes, thank You, Lord! Amen!

Amen. It’s so easy to only see what is right in front of us and miss the larger context. Often, like with Esau, there is no second chance.
