FAITH... That is what Christianity is all about. To live by Faith. As I was reading about Moses, I was reminded about how Moses lived by Faith (Hebrews 11:24-31). Hebrews 11:1 is the reason why Moses gave up his fortune as an Eygption ruler (He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enhoy the pleasures of sin for a short time. Heb. 11:25) ; it is the reason why He later stood up to His Eygption family so that their income (slaves) could be free;
It is because He had his sights on the Spiritual world ("certain of what we do not see" Heb.11:1b), and not on the physical world. He didn't put any value on the Eygption Kingdom but instead God's Kingdom. Moses also didn't not know what His live would become when He answered God's calling at the bush. After that incounter with God; His life was never and will never be the same. That is FAITH...putting all your value, ideas, and desires, in someone you know will change your life upside down (acorrding to the world's standards) and trusting HIM and following HIS will even when in reality it doesn't make sense.
