Recognizing True Value

I am convinced that one reason why Yahweh never seems to be upset by the fact that Jacob stole his elder brother’s inheritance is because Esau insulted Yahweh by not valuing it.

The heritage that we have received from believing parents or grandparents is part of our spiritual inheritance. The character and mindset that our mentors had as they influenced us to maturity is part of our spiritual inheritance. The opportunities for ministry that our Father has laid out in front of us for us to walk in is part of our spiritual inheritance.

The more we display the value we believe it has, the more we experience benefits of favor and grace as He blesses us without regard for our failures, just as He did Jacob. As Jacob walked in the identity of the heir of God’s promises, Yahweh changed his name from “Usurper” to “God’s Prince.”
