Heb 11:23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king's commandment.
Heb 11:24 By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;
Heb 11:25 Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
Heb 11:26 Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.
Heb 11:27 By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
Heb 11:28 Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.
Heb 11:29 By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.
By FAITH Moses was HID for three months by his parents.
By FAITH Moses when we was matured REFUSED to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter.
Moses CHOSE to SUFFER AFFLICTION with the people of GOD rather than ENJOY THE PLEASURES OF SIN FOR A SEASON.
Moses ESTEEMED the reproach of CHRIST GREATER RICHES than the TREASURES in EGYPT, because he knew the reward was ETERNAL LIFE.
By FAITH Moses left Egypt NOT fearing the anger of the king.
By FAITH Moses endured- because HE believed in the INVISIBLE GOD!
Through FAITH Moses kept the passover-the sprinkling of blood- so that the firstborn of His people would not die.
By FAITH Moses walked through the Red Sea as if it were dry land, yet the Egyptians drowned!
By FAITH!
Before Moses ever spoke with God, He, by FAITH chose God over living a life of pure luxury.
Sure we've seen movies and read books and so on all about the main character getting fed up with their superficial life of luxury and forsaking it, but it's so incredibly rare all we truly believe is only fictional people do something like that. Moses was NOT fictional. Moses was as real as you and I are. Moses chose GOD over everything else all by FAITH. He hadn't been given any special visitations by angels to convince him to do the will of God. He wasn't given anything tangible at all whatsoever to prove to him that the Egyptian ways were wrong. Usually when a person is raised by a certain culture they grow up to accept that culture fully. Moses didn't do that. Moses realized he wasn't a 'natural born' Egyptian. And then Moses saw those people that He'd come from and knew that he was originally of them. He didn't thank all the Egyptian gods that He'd been fortunate enough to escape the fate of all his people. He felt the heavy weight of wrongness in the Egyptian way. He CHOSE to give up all the luxuries KNOWING it would displease the leader of the Egyptians, knowing he would feel the wrath of that man who had the backing of every single Egyptian. So not only was he choosing to deprive himself of a life of ease- he was incurring the anger of the most powerful man in all of Egypt.
TALK ABOUT FAITH!
We know so little about true faith, don't we? I mean come on. Look at our lives. We are constantly screaming for proof, screaming for a reason to really believe beyond faith. We allow our doubts to reign in us day after day after day not fully believing in God who LOVES us more than we can ever imagine.
God Loves us so incredibly much.
We MUST believe! We MUST have faith!
The faith of MOSES is amazing!
He LIVED BY FAITH.
HE knew that the SAVIOR was HIS SAVIOR. He knew the TRUTH of the Gospel of the Kingdom of God. He believed in all that gives us HOPE.
By the GRACE of GOD may we too have this faith that MOSES had!
PLEASE Lord HELP US! Help us comprehend our NEED for a real FAITH, that YOU ARE WHO YOU SAY YOU ARE, OUR GOD, OUR CREATOR, OUR KING, OUR SAVIOR!
Please.
Thank you, Lord, all by YOUR LOVE AND GRACE.
