In our walk with God, we will always find ourselves in a situation where we should either chose to obey God or not. The scripture is full of examples on the positive and negative, those who were able to chose right in line with God's will and those who would give-in to compromise their faith. This blog will open our eyes to life of a Man - Moses, who had options but chosed to live for God and His will though it costed him so much.
Reading Passage:
Hebrews 11: 24 - 28, New International Version (NIV)
24 By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh’s daughter. 25 He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin.
26 He regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward.
27 By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the king’s anger; he persevered because he saw him who is invisible.
28 By faith he kept the Passover and the application of blood, so that the destroyer of the firstborn would not touch the firstborn of Israel.
Everybody has a choice to make at every point in life. We all have at least two choices in any situation either yes or no. Some times the devil tempts us directly by whispering to our heart to do evil or we follow a bad example of others.
You can refuse to follow what you know in your heart is wrong. Have You ever felt as though you had no choice but to do something wrong?
When somebody wants You to do something wrong that person will often look for any justification that will allow the action. Some say " it is not really bad" or "no one will know". Although no one else may know, God knows.
Bear In mind God's feelings and your relationship with Him next time sin seems likely the easy choice . Moses made a choice that paid off. He really suffered with his people but he was able to fulfil God's purpose for his generation.
Take time to choose wisely and you will have no regret later in life.
