entitlement or indebtedness?

this is what's on my mind today...

Gen 33:9 And Esau said, I HAVE MUCH, my brother. Let what you have be to yourself.
Gen 33:10 And Jacob said, No, please, if I now have found favor in your eyes, take my present from my hands. For I have seen your face, like seeing the face of Elohim; and you are pleased with me.
Gen 33:11 PLEASE TAKE MY BLESSING which has been brought to you, BECAUSE ELOHIM HAS FAVORED ME, and because I HAVE ALL THINGS. And he urged him; and he accepted...

in Hebrew, the phrase "I have much" means by my own hand and achievement, I have all these things but always want and lust for more...
the phrase "I have all things" means YHVH has provided all of my needs and wants and I have need of nothing but more of HIM...

esau lived his life in "entitlement" and Jacob live his life in "indebtedness..."

Messiah Yeshua teaches us:
Mat 6:25 Because of this, I say to you, Do not be anxious for your soul, what you eat and what you drink, nor for your body, what you put on. Is not life more than the food and the body than the clothing?
Mat 6:26 Observe the birds of the heaven, that they do not sow, nor do they reap, nor do they gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Do you not rather excel them?
Mat 6:27 But who of you by being anxious is able to add one cubit onto his stature?
Mat 6:28 And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They do not labor nor do they spin,
Mat 6:29 but I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed as one of these.
Mat 6:30 If YAHWEH so enrobes the grass of the field, which is today, and is thrown into a furnace tomorrow, will He not much rather you, little-faiths?
Mat 6:31 Then do not be anxious, saying, What may we eat? Or, what may we drink? Or, what may clothe us?
Mat 6:32 For after all these things the nations seek. For YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER KNOWS THAT YOU HAVE NEED OF ALL THESE THINGS.
Mat 6:33 But seek first the kingdom of YAHWEH and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
Mat 6:34 Then do not be anxious for tomorrow. For the morrow will be anxious of itself. Sufficient to each day is its own trouble.

my prayer is that I live a life of indebtedness to Messiah Yeshua, the King of glory as His daughter and the daughter of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob!
