Moses is an incredible forefather in the faith. Hebrews 11:25 states that Moses made a choice by faith that is counterculture to what it currently means to be an American. It says that Moses chose suffering with the people of God over the pleasures of sin. Some people are mistreated and can do nothing about it. But Moses actually chose this kind of suffering over the life of a prince in Egypt. It's almost unbelievable that someone would actually do this.
I am discovering that the key to this kind of choosing is the phrase "for a short time." The pleasures of this earth are momentary, but the joy of heaven is for eternity. "Then" is really bigger and greater than "now". I need to keep this in mind in my relationships, work, finances and so on. If I can do this by God's grace I could potentially be a little more like Moses and my Lord Jesus Christ.
