Bible Story

Esau's Impatience
Genesis 25:24-34

When you think you can't wait, think twice.

“Wait for the Lord. Be strong and don't lose hope. Wait for the Lord.”

Psalm 27:14, NIrV

Engagement Questions

• Why is it so important to remember, when you think you can't wait, think twice?
• What are signs that you’re about to lose your patience?
• When you think twice, what kind of outcome could you have instead?

Prayer

“Dear God, thank You for the gift of patience through Your Holy Spirit. We know that when we choose to believe in You and follow You, we aren’t left alone in our waiting. You give us a way to be strong and have hope while we wait. Please make it clear this week when we need to show patience. We love You and we pray these things in Jesus’ name. Amen.”
