01- 20- 11 MI DAILY DEVOTION (Hebrews 11:3)
WINNING BY FAITH AND POTENTIAL WITH THE LORD ON YOUR SIDE
3- “Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.”
The Bible is the mirror of everyone from the least to the greatest. During the time of Moses they don’t have the whole Scriptures, but he already was putting into practiced what the New Testament was saying about faith, vision, suffering for the sake of the Lord Jesus Christ and the potential that we have in Him. In (Hebrews 11:24) “By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;” People who have a different perspective, different outlook in life and different dreams and vision might think that Moses was crazy. If you’re like me who turned your back from the pleasures of the world and you have heard your friends and love ones said something negative against you and against your decision for Christ. People who turned their back from the good offer of the world, the great perks and a big chunk of money in exchange for the Name of Christ were called crazy, out of their minds or silly for rejecting something that is of importance to many.
At the start of the year, I make it a point of reading and try to finish reading the book of Dr. John C. Maxwell- “Think on These Things” Mr. Maxwell said, “The people who constantly rise to the top are those who possess a vision before the prize is won. They see the triumph before anyone else. During times of discouragement, they pursue the dream while others criticize, they continue striving. They push aside the problems and point to the potential. They behave like victors before the contest. Why? Because they’ve already seen the victory in their mind.”
Yes, I believe that they’ve already seen the victory in the future right in their minds. The people during Moses’ times might have thought that Moses was out of his mind when he refused to be called son of Pharaoh’s daughter. When he refused to be called son of Pharaoh’s daughter, Moses did not just turned his backed from the position that he has and will have in the future, but he also refused the power that was already in his hand and more power if he stayed in the palace during those time. He also refused the great provisions and pleasures the palace can offer to him any time with special service, instead he ends up tending the sheep and became a servant. (Hebrews 11:26) “Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompense of the reward.”
