What if you were a king’s son or daughter?
Cool, huh? You could have anything you wanted, live anywhere, have all the friends you wanted.
No one would dare tell you no.
Imagine Moses from the Bible. No, not the Moses out in the desert, or the one standing beside the Red Sea preparing to part the water, not even the Moses who sent the plagues roiling across the land of Egypt.
Let’s look at the Moses who was the son of a king … adopted, perhaps, but a son, nevertheless.
And he chose to throw it all away. Read in Hebrews 11:24:
“By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, choosing rather to be mistreated with the people of God than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin.”
Numbers 12:3 reveals Moses’ humble nature. He never got a swelled head because he lived in the palace.
He could have become the next pharaoh, and he chose God.
When we become Christians, or as we think of it, accept salvation, the old person is wiped away, and we become a new creature in Christ.
We look at all the things of our past life – Moses in the palace! – and we choose Christ, instead. We no longer base our worth on our house, our connections, or our income.
We find our worth in being connected to Christ.
Our relationship with Jesus is greater than the wealth of this world. Let’s keep our eyes firmly fixed on him.
