Moses' Faith.
"By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, choosing rather to endure ill-treatment with the people of God than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin.
He considered the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he was looking to the reward." Hebrews 11:24-26
I feel stirred inside when I read these verses. All around us in the news we here of what people will do for power and riches. Then we see Moses, who gave it all up and followed God. He knew what was truly valuable in life; knowing God and living for him.
Moses made a terrible mistake when he killed an Egyptian who was beating a Hebrew. He thought he was ready to lead the Hebrews to freedom. But he was wrong, and in the desert, for forty years, he learned patience, faith and love until God could finally use him to free Israel from slavery.
What an example Moses was for us! We can learn so much from his life.

yep we indeed can learn a lot from his life as well as so many other examples God has given to us through His Word, like King David, Joshua, etc. I think we should all strive to have the heart that God can use to further his kingdom and work :)
betty
I am so glad for the biographies in the Bible. For me, the ideal man was Joseph. I hope I would have his patience and faith.
