“Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves. Be ye therefore wise as serpents and harmless as doves.”
Matthew 10:16Have you ever been tempted to trade something precious for immediate satisfaction? Esau’s story of trading his birthright for a single meal shows the danger of letting temporary needs cloud our judgment. In a moment of weakness, he chose short-term comfort over the long-term blessings God had for him. Like Esau, we may face choices that seem small but have lasting consequences.

Jesus’ advice to be “wise as serpents and harmless as doves” (Matthew 10:16) reminds us to approach our decisions with both wisdom and humility. Life offers countless “pots of stew”—quick fixes that seem enticing but don’t align with our deeper values. When we seek God’s guidance, we gain the strength to choose wisely, remembering that our faith is a journey of trust, patience, and true reward.
