My children, I know you grieve for what is coming in
your world. I do not desire you would allow your grief to distract you from
finishing the work I have called you to.
Do not, like Esau, throw away your birthright for a
bowl of food when that time comes.
Gird up your loins and run the race that has been set

and bring you home.

birthright.
32 And Esau said, Behold, I am at the
point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me?
33 And Jacob said, Swear to me this day;
and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.
34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage
of lentiles; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau
despised his birthright.
1 Peter 1:13-14

14 As obedient children, not fashioning
yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
