Your Season, Your choice
Hello, Bonjour, Que Pasa! How’s it going good people and others?
Today’s topic will be about “Your Season, Your choice!" We will be looking at the “Hero of Faith Moses and the choice he made to be deemed as such. I’ll be coming from Hebrews 11 with an emphasis on Hebrews 11:25-26. I can give you a heads up. Their decisions were not the typical choices that people of the world today would make to become “Heroes of Faith.” Let’s dive in.
When we look at Hebrews 11:25-26 it states Moses “Chose rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.”
Can somebody say, “for a season!” See one thing I love about God is he is Pro Choice! He is not for the “Pro Choice” that has become rampant in today’s society. But he is definitely all about you having free will. When we look at Hebrews 11, we see that Moses had a choice. He had the ability to choose between a season to suffer affliction or he had the choice to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season. Moses was a great Hero of Faith. He led the people of Israel out of Egypt. He chose to suffer with the people of God over enjoying the pleasures of sin for a season. Look at your reading neighbor and ask, “Can you suffer but for a season?”
So many of us have no endurance for Gods cause! We want to be esteemed as great. We want to be celebrated here on Earth; yet we can’t tolerate the hate the world gives! See Moses esteemed the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt! See some folks problem today is that they have chosen to esteem the treasures of Egypt greater than the reproach of Christ! They don’t want to be hated for Christ's sake. They want the praises of men. See some folks don’t want to stand on business and be set apart they want to be included in the benefits of Egypt. They want their names in flashing lights, they want to be turned out to a new doctrine of devils, they want worldly fame and recognition, they want to be side by side with the artist and musicians of the world. Even though our word has told us numerous times to come out from among them! Ask your reading neighbor, “Can you discern the treasures of Egypt?”
God has given us plenty of choices and plenty of chances. Yet, this nation (America) continues to worship idols and practice perverse relations. We choose to esteem the puppets that Egypt has strategically placed in front of us, and we wonder why our daughters are moving like Jezebel. We wonder why our men have fallen to the back instead of rising to lead and protect as they were created to do. We wonder why our nation is plagued with disaster and droughts. Yet, God has given you a choice and you continue to choose Jezebel and her worship of Baal over Jesus Christ.
As a nation we have failed to realize that every action has a reaction. That even if you choose to enjoy the pleasures that Egypt has provided it will be only but for a season! What will follow at the close of the season you choose is your choice. Whether you choose to suffer with God’s people for Christ sake or you choose to enjoy the life you are living now! Your ending will be a direct reflection of the choice you made while on Earth. Your season, your choice.
Choose wisely.
Love ya later.
