—Genesis 28:6-9

My college friends used to remind each other of the first rule of holes: When you’re in a hole—stop digging. This can be so true. How many times have you tried to fix something only to make it worse? Esau desperately sought to regain his father’s favor, but he tried to do so by taking matters into his own hands. He did not seek to understand God’s will, his father’s position, nor did he seek personal change. In the end, his solution only made his situation worse.
