"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." (Heb 11:24-26 KJV) Choosing to suffer affliction (hard to bare circumstances) is a far better choice than the enjoyment of the pleasures of sin for a moment. We delude our self if we believe sin has no pleasure, but the pleasure is not without severe consequence. Suffer instead and live!
PRAYER: Lord, like David, it is good for us to have been afflicted therefore, we have learned your ways. Help always to rather suffer than to enjoy the pleasure of sin for a moment. Amen!
Ps 119:92-94. . . .I would have despaired and perished unless your laws had been my deepest delight. 93 I will never lay aside your laws, for you have used them to restore my joy and health. TLB
