He was adopted into wealth, luxury and the best education. He could have played his cards right and been set for life. What made him choose oppression?
Faith is the cause. He refused to be called the son of pharaoh's daughter. He chose to share the oppression of God's people. He thought it was better to suffer for the sake of Christ than to own the treasures of Egypt. See Hebrews 11:24-26.
Moses is a great example of how our faith should be.
But, why not live in the wealth and have some kind of secret faith? Does that work? Just adjust your faith to accommodate wealth and pleasure. Oops. That is not real faith. Not faith like Moses. Not faith like the Bible talks about.
Faith changes how we live. It makes us use everything we have to be pleasing to God. Faith leads to love and sacrifice. It is not about me. It is not for me. Jesus is my Lord and Savior. Master and owner of everything that I am.
I will keep on working to live out this kind of faith. Teaming with others who are willing to lay down their lives.
