What Good is It?
October 2
Esau was weary from working in the forest, faint, tired and
hungry. He was so weary and faint he thought he was going to
die unless he got some food. Jacob seized the moment to ask
Esau to sell him the birthright for a bowl of soup which Esau
did. His thinking was that the birthright was useless to him
anyway if he died.
Esau made a major decision when he should have waited.
Its dangerous to make major decisions when one is
discouraged, sick, tired and even giddy with excitement. (See
Hezekiah and his tour he gave to the enemy after he learned
God had given him fifteen years of additional life.) Esau made
his decision at the wrong time.
Thomas Nelson told the following.I remember one
winter my dad needed firewood, and he found a dead tree and
sawed it down. In the spring, to his dismay, new shoots
sprouted around the trunk. He said, I thought sure it was
dead. The leaves had all dropped in the wintertime. It was so
cold that twigs snapped as if there was no life left in the old
tree. But now I see that there was still life at the taproot. He
looked at me and said, Bob, dont forget this important
lesson. Never cut down a tree in the wintertime. Never make
a negative decision in the low time. Never make your most
important decisions when you are in your worst mood. Wait.
Be patient. The storm will pass. The spring will come.

In the South, you never hear people say, What city art
thou? We say, Now where are you from?
Absalom is rebelling against his father David, and he
steals the heart of the people (vs. 6) by doing three things.
First, he meets them at the gate as they enter the city to go
about their daily chores. Secondly, he is friendly and carries
on at least a brief conversation by asking where they are from.
Third, he would shake their hand and give them a kiss of
greeting. ( This was common in their day.)
The problem with Absalom is the same problem we
face today in politics, in the work place, and yes, even in our
churches. We greet people, shake hands, tell them we care
about them, but its all talk; there is a lack of genuine
sincerity.
As a congregation was singing the closing hymn, For
You I am Praying, the speaker turned to a man on the
platform and asked, For whom are you praying? The man
was stunned and said, Why..why I guess Im praying for
anybody. Why do you ask? The speaker replied, Well I just
heard you say, For you I am praying, and I thought you
meant it. Oh no, said the man. Im just singing. It is so
easy to just be singing words and not thinking about what Im
singing.
Let us begin today, this very moment, to be sincere,
share our greetings, and care for others.
What to do:
Remember if we are not sincere with our words and
actions, then we are sincerely wrong.
