What are you choosing today? No one LIKES to suffer but when we claim we are believers of Jesus Christ, living by the Holy Spirit, we must put our flesh under subjection. Let us excel in the Holy Spirit! Great! Okay, why then do we stop ourselves? Is it because of the spirit of fear, complacency, greed, etc...? We are living in the last days, where people will choose themselves. They observe catastrophes in the world, stay glue to the television, social media posts, news feed, talk about it and that is it! Nothing has penetrated in their hearts to ACTIVELY seek change for GOD's purpose. What does God say about the matter? What does God' want us to do in the thick of the smoke? No wonder Paul, said fight the good fight of faith (1 Timothy 6:12 KJV). Don't get weary in your well-being.
In Hebrews 12, individuals are listed on the "Faith Wall of Fame." Moses being one of them. As I was reading these, Hebrews 12:24 -25 leaped off the page. Read below.
v. 24 By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of the Pharaoh's daughter;
v. 25 Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
Did you catch that? What do you think? Our assignments for God can be painful, uncomfortable, or WHACK to our flesh, but we have a reward! God is our reward! TODAY we must do the best we possibly can with God's help of course, that God is the reward for us all. Now you may deal with stubborn, stiff-necked people just like Moses, but you must press on to the prize and do your part. Let's not ignore, push aside what God has called us to do for others and His glory.
Be blessed in the name of Jesus.
