Esau was the first born so he should have received the spiritual blessing but he rejected the calling. He was not a person that wanted the Lord but he wanted money and earthly things. So he betrayed his calling.
Jacob was not a perfect man but he valued the Lord. He knew the blessing from the first born. So he received the blessing.
Issac passed on the blessing to Issac.
Life is more than making money and having a big house. We must put the Lord first in our lives.
Issac believed in the Lord. Jacob believed in the Lord.
We must claim the gift of God but we must ask for it. There are two type of people. The person that desire the Lord and the person that values materials over the Lord.
It is easy to fall into the trap of money, especially when you are looking for a job or in debt. But we must not love money over God.
