If you don’t wait, it could cost you

​Hi Reign Forest friends,
 
For week three, we go to Genesis 25:24-34, where we find one of the best examples of what
happens when you’re not patient—the story of Esau. After a hunting trip, Esau was exhausted
and hungry! And wouldn’t you know, his brother Jacob had a pot of stew cooking on the fire.
Jacob takes advantage of this situation and offers a bowl in exchange for Esau’s inheritance.
Turns out, Esau couldn’t resist. He lost something extremely valuable all because he was
impatient.
 
Bottom Line: If you don’t wait, it could cost you. Through the story of Esau, we pray that kids
will discover why it’s important to have patience and wait. We will face moments when we
want to rush and take the first choice that comes our way, but that might not be God’s best for
us. We pray kids will discover that when they wait, they can experience something even better
than they can imagine.
 
Bible Memory: Proverbs 16:32 NLT
Better to be patient than powerful; Better to have self-control than to conquer a city.
 
Blessings,
The Reign Forest Team
