Faith Is The Key

Moses chose to give up life as a prince of Egypt “for the sake of Christ”. How did Moses know about Christ since he lived fifteen hundred years before Him? I’ll tell you how: Moses knew by faith. With every Passover lamb being slaughtered, it was a foreshadowing of the death of Christ. And Moses had faith that if God could save His people from the tenth plague by the blood of livestock, He could also save them from their sins.

Not only did faith save Moses, but it also helped him to choose obedience. You see, when we give up the pleasures of this world to follow Christ, the road is never easy. Moses discovered this to be true in the wilderness as he led the stubborn, complaining Israelites for forty years. Faith is what sustained him. Faith is the key.

Today if you study the gospels, you’ll notice that Christ never praised His disciples for their power, their wisdom, or their passion. But at times, He did praise them for their faith. Faith as small as a mustard seed can move a mountain and hurl it into the middle of the sea. Faith casts out demons. Faith makes God’s power manifest in the darkest of circumstances. Moses had this sort of faith, and by it, he could trust God to fulfill His promises, even those that were a long way off.

“He regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward” (Hebrews 11:26).

Let’s Pray

Yahweh, I want to develop a deep faith in You. Father, help me to reflect on Your goodness and faithfulness. God, I want to remember Your sure promises to strengthen my faith. I choose to obey You even when the task is hard. I pray in the name of Christ. Amen.
