By Faith Moses
Hebrews 11:23-29 BSB
Pharaoh’s Daughter (see Exodus 2:1-10)
Pharaoh issued an edict at the time of Moses’ birth that all newborn Hebrew boys were to be killed. But by faith Moses’ mother hid him for three months. But when she could hide him no longer, she put him in a basket and placed it among the reeds by the river bank. And then the daughter of Pharaoh came down to the river, saw the basket, and decided to take care of the child. And long story short, the mother of Moses ended up being paid by Pharaoh’s daughter to nurse the baby. When the child grew older she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. And she named him Moses.
When Moses was Grown
But when Moses was grown, by faith he refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, and instead he chose to suffer oppression along with God’s people. He chose this rather than to experience the fleeting enjoyment of sin. For, he would rather endure such reproaches as Christ suffered, along with his people, than to participate in the treasures of Egypt.
And what lesson can we get from that for our own lives? I believe this is a very good illustration of what it looks like when we, by genuine faith in Jesus Christ, willingly give up our lives of sin to now follow our Lord in walks of obedience to his commands. We willingly give up other people’s friendships, if necessary, and the sinful pleasures of this world, in order to follow our Lord wherever he leads us in doing whatever he has called us to do. And it will cost us if we get serious about our walks of obedience to Christ.
He Persevered
God called Moses to rescue God’s people who were being held captive in slavery in Egypt. Moses wasn’t real excited about the idea, at first, but he yielded to the calling of God on his life, and he did what God called him to do. But Pharaoh would not let the people go, even after God sent all kinds of plagues against Pharaoh and his people. But the final plague got Pharaoh to let the people go because it meant the death of so many of his people. But then he still chased after them. But the Egyptians drowned in the Red Sea.
And what can we learn from this? Never give up hope! Keep persevering! Keep believing God! Keep trusting him! Even when all looks hopeless. Even when you have had to suffer this way many times before. Even when the prayers you pray are not being answered in the timing you had hoped for. Don’t give up! Even if it looks like the world is coming crashing down all around you. Keep moving forward. Even if it looks like no one’s listening. Keep speaking the truth of God’s word for the salvation of human lives.

The Word of God throughout taught.
Some people heard but did doubt.
Still others had faith in Christ.
By grace He purified them.
They turned from sin
And they obeyed Christ.
He opened up their blinded eyesight;
Turned them from darkness
To the true Light;
Forgave their sin by His might.
He strengthened them in their faith.
He said, “Remain my faithful.”
He called them to obedience.
By faith, they were so grateful.
By faith, they were to follow Jesus;
To daily sit and listen to Him;
To have such faith
That mountains could move;
To love those whom He gave them.
Be on your guard; courageous.
Stand firm in faith. Be thankful.
Take up the shield of your faith;
Protect against all evil.
Do not move from
The hope that you have.
Your faith in Jesus let it endure.
Hold to the truth;
Your conscience be clear.
Endure with perseverance.
Keep Persevering

Hebrews 11:23-29 BSB
“23By faith Moses’ parents hid him for three months after his birth, because they saw that he was a beautiful child, and they were unafraid of the king’s edict.
“24By faith Moses, when he was grown, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter. 25He chose to suffer oppression with God’s people rather than to experience the fleeting enjoyment of sin. 26He valued disgrace for Christ above the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking ahead to his reward.
“27By faith Moses left Egypt, not fearing the king’s anger; he persevered because he saw Him who is invisible. 28By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, so that the destroyer of the firstborn would not touch Israel’s own firstborn.
“29By faith the people passed through the Red Sea as on dry land; but when the Egyptians tried to follow, they were drowned.”
