Then the devotional contact today. Today’ s Bible reading begins in verse 23
of Hebrews, chapter 11 by faith Moses. When he was born, he
was hidden by his parents for three months because they saw him a beautiful child
and did not fear the king' s decree by faith Moses made already great,
refused to call himself the son of Pharaoh' s daughter, choosing rather
to be mistreated with the people of God, than to enjoy the temporal delights
of the Sin, having for greater riches the reproach of Christ than the treasures
of the Egyptians, because he had his gaze on the reward. By faith
he left Egypt, fearing not the wrath of the king, because he held
himself as seeing the invisible. By faith he celebrated the Passover and the sprinkling
of blood so that he might destroy the firstborn. Do not touch them by
faith. They passed through the red sea like dry land and tried the Egyptians
to do the same, they were drowned as human beings. We often have
difficulty realizing what the Lord does in our lives. We are limited by the
passage of time, the confusion of current circumstances, and the lack of understanding
of God’ s plans and means to achieve them. So studying the lives
of men and women in the Bible helps us to see how the Lord acts
in the past. When we face uncertainty, we can analyze the example of
Moses, who had an uncertain life full of difficulties, but stood firm as
if he were seeing the invisible in Greek. The root of the word stay
firm refers to the ability to endure under difficulty. Moses successfully persevered under pressure
by keeping his focus on God. Instead of in the circumstances of Moses’
example, we learn that this is also what the Lord desires for us.
Although we may want to get out of a difficult wave situation as soon as
possible, that may not be God’ s purpose. Your goal is not
to make us feel as comfortable as possible, but to transform ourselves into the
image of your child, and the ability to endure helps us to do so.
If God calls us to deal with pain, difficulties, or uncertainty,
we can find encouragement in knowing that we are never alone to see the invisible
is to realize that God' s grace and comfort bring us out afloat in
every situation. Sir doesn' t want us to just stand the difficulties.
He wants us to trust him and bring glory to his name through our dependence.
