Live by faith or by the wealth of the system that rules this world? What is your choice?

Live by faith or by the wealth of the system that rules this world? What is your choice?

•    Amo 4:13 -> “For, lo, he that formeth the mountains, and createth the wind, and declareth unto man what is his thought, that maketh the morning darkness, and treadeth upon the high places of the earth, The LORD, The God of hosts, is his name.”. 

Who really believes in the Creator? Who would have courage of doing the same like Moses?

•    Heb 11:24-27 -> “By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter; choosing 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. By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.”.

He gave up all his sumptuous life in the greatest empire in his time to live a uncertain life. Who would do this, unless they see the Creator? It’s worthy of note that Hebrews 11:27 shows that Moses forsook the Egypt, not for fearing the king’s wrath, but for contemplating the Creator and His rewards.

It’s truth that Moses feared when he knew that what he did was found out. 

•    Exo 2:14,15 -> “And he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over us? intendest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? And Moses feared, and said, Surely this thing is known. Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian: and he sat down by a well.”.

Nonetheless, Moses had abandoned the Egypt since the moment that he discovered that he wasn’t Egyptian. Although he knew that Pharaoh would get very mad in virtue of him deciding to live with the Hebrews, staying in their side, he didn’t draw back. He stayed suffering with his people until he slaying the Egyptian and didn’t have more possibility of staying in the Egypt.

Probably most of us wouldn’t give up our status. Rather, we would stay lackadaisical enjoying the treasures of Egypt and deluding ourselves with the expectation that, there, we could do something to assuage the pain of the Hebrews.

So, have a good day believing that it is the Creator who:

•    forms the mountains -> whether to protect us or to preclude us to go to the wrong place (Isa 5:5);
•    creates the wind -> put the angels to help us (Heb 1:7);
•    declares unto man what is his thought -> it is the Creator who reveals to everyone what are their real intentions, as well as His right answer (Prov 16:1,9; 19:21; 20:24; Jer 10:23);
•    makes the morning darkness -> He darkens the ways of the enemies and enlighten the way of the righteous (as He did with Israel when they come out of Egypt – Exo 14:19,20);
•    treads upon the high places of the earth -> nobody can stay in a position which can’t be reached by Him (Amos 9:3; Ob 4);
•    is the LORD, the God of hosts -> He has the control of all host (whether alive ou inanimate).
