Moses making choices
So much could be said about Moses
– the culture of Egypt when he was a
child, his opportunity in Pharaoh’s palace, his mistakes as a young man etc.
I focus this article on one Bible
verse that explains so much :-
“ he endured as seeing Him who is
invisible”.
Many people only believe in what
they can see. Whether it is science or religion, people love tangible and
visible evidence. Moses could see in his mind things greater than the
possibilities in Egypt. He trusted one greater than the king. He yielded to the
voice of God whom he could not see. His
vision of hope was not limited to this world. By means of this perception he
made decisions – deciding for Christ, deciding to suffer with God’s people,
deciding for the eternal reward.
Much pressure is applied to us to
live for the here and now, but God calls us to evaluate all things in the
consideration of the life to come. Moses believed in a God who was and is
invisible. Yet He is one who rewards all those who seek Him.
Moses refused the fleeting
pleasures of sin. Moses refused the fame of an idolatrous king. Moses chose the
reproach of belonging to Christ rather than the treasures of Egypt. Moses
obeyed the command of God and kept the Passover. Moses prayed to God when
things seemed impossible. Moses conquered evil by faith in God.
What choices do I make?
