"These be the dukes of Edom, according to their habitations in the land of their possession: he is Esau the father of the Edomites" (Genesis 36:43). "Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in His ways... it shall be well with thee" (Psalm 128:1,2). "The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools" (Proverbs 3:35). "By all means save some... Every man... striveth... to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible" (1 Corinthians 9:22,25).
The end of Edom was in
sight
With Esau as their
nation's head,
Who had despised his own
birthright,
Preferring pottage that
was red.
But blest are those who
fear the Lord;
We know for them it shall
be well,
For Christ is their
supreme Reward,
Who rescued them from
death and hell.
There is an end to Edom's
story,
A sad example of the lost,
Who thus rejected heaven's
glory
And never stopped to count
the cost.
O Lord, like Esau, many
spurn
Their birthright to be born
again!
We pray for those who yet
may turn
While You are saving
sinful men.
