—Hebrews 11:20-26

How many of us would pass up a chance to be in a prominent position of authority, to make more money, and to be free from problems? In today's world status is everything. Even in the Christian church there is a competitive spirit amongst people that can cause them to focus upon external factors rather than the will of God in making decisions.
Moses could have enjoyed a life full of luxury and prestige in the royal palace. He would have had access to great riches. But he chose instead to honor God's call upon his life, which involved sacrifice and suffering. How much do we consider the reproach of Christ?
