TRUE Word, Faith for LIFE! with Dr. Shawn
DAY 21: WHY DID GOD CHOOSE HIM?!
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Why would God choose Jacob when Esau looked like the obvious heir?
Genesis 25 isn’t just ancient family drama. It’s a mirror. It exposes how easily we trade tomorrow for whatever we’re hungry for today.
In Day 21 of Through the Bible in a Year: Walking the Story of God, Dr. Shawn M. Greener walks through Genesis 25:19 to 34, where Rebekah’s barrenness, Isaac’s prayer, the twins struggling in the womb, and Esau’s birthright all collide in one unforgettable question:
Are you living by covenant, or by appetite?
Esau didn’t just want stew. He treated something sacred like it was disposable. Jacob wasn’t mature, clean, or noble yet either. He was grasping. Calculating. Complicated.
And that’s the point.
God’s covenant purposes don’t move by human custom, birth order, physical strength, family preference, or emotional impulse. They move by His sovereign word.
This episode will confront your instincts, your appetites, your ambitions, and the way you make decisions when you’re tired, hungry, pressured, or desperate.
