Priceless

By faith Moses, when he became of age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin.--Hebrews 11:24-25 (NKJV)

Moses spent 40 years in the luxury and safety of Pharoah's household. However, he left it for the wilderness of Midian. There he spent another 40 years as a shepherd. This sounds like a unwise vocational choice. He definitely took a pay cut. However, the Bible says he would rather "suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin."

Many times our decisions do not make sense to people who are self-absorbed. However, believers live "by faith" and take a eternal view of their choices.

So, today remember disobedience to God's will may be enjoyable for awhile, but it is only a "passing pleasure."

If a Master Card commercial was made on the life of Moses, this could be its message.

Living as a Shepherd in the Wilderness of Midian- Poverty
Living in the center of God's Will- Priceless
