Not only does the entitled ego cause people to want what they want now and not later, but another problem is that it causes people to trade the ultimate for the immediate. They’re willing to trade something better for something immediate. A prime example of this can be found in Genesis 25 in the story of Jacob and Esau, as Esau traded his birthright to Jacob for a bowl of stew. Esau traded something incredibly valuable in his birthright in order to fulfill an immediate need of eating a bowl of stew. He traded the ultimate for the immediate. Take time to examine your life today and see where you might be letting your immediate desires overwhelm and overcome the longer-term benefit. What’s your bowl of stew? Where are you trading the ultimate for the immediate?

About this Plan
If you have ever felt insecure, inadequate, or insufficient, then this 35-day reading plan is for you. Instead of living with an outward-driven ego, this plan will help you gain an Altar Ego that is focused more inward. Each day, you will read scriptures and a short devotional that will enable you to begin transforming your ego by laying down your worldly self-image and replacing it with God’s view of you. You are not yet who you are supposed to be, but you can begin the process today of growing into who you are supposed to be in God’s eyes.
