I’m Still Here

July 31, 2006

Joe,

It’s been a chaotic couple of days here so I will try to wrap up my thoughts on your previous post regarding reading tomorrow.  But since I know how jealous you are that something be posted daily, here is something I read this morning from Hebrews 11.  Very familiar words I know, but how earnesly I pray that we could live them out day after day!

“24By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, 25choosing rather to be mistreated with the people of God than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin. 26He considered the reproach of Christ greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking to the reward.”

May the infinitely great reward that is Christ be so much more satisfying than the fleeting pleasures of Egypt that we are not lured away by their deceptively sweet taste.
