God Wants Me to Be Humble
Even when suffering is involved
Hebrews 11:24-25
Read the Bible through:
AM - Job 29-31 : PM - Acts 16:16-40
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, (Heb. 11:24-25).
Even when suffering is involved
Hebrews 11:24-25

We sometimes forget Moses had a choice when it came to serving God. God presented a strong case, but Moses could have refused to lead the Hebrews out of Egypt. Once he made his choice there is no evidence Moses ever looked back. He was committed to walk humbly before God even if the path involved suffering.
The Hebrews looked constantly to the past. Suffering brought out the worst in them. The unfortunate image we have of the Israelites in the desert is one of a bunch of whiners and complainers.
Still, Moses chose to roam with those whiners and complainers instead of living on the riches of all Egypt. Perhaps Moses learned early in life it was better to suffer with the saints then to inherit with the heathen.
Lord, may I be patient in affliction and faithful in prayer.
