Heb
11:26
[Moses] accounting the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt: for he looked unto the recompense of reward.
[Moses] accounting the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt: for he looked unto the recompense of reward.
God promised Moses (and the Israelites) the reward of
eternal life. Moses believed and didn’t consider the temporal riches
of Egypt (he was the prince heir of the throne) greater than the
reward promised by God. He looked at the
eternal rather than at the temporal.
The implication is that whatever our social position in
life, high or low, God asks us to look to
the eternal things and not to the temporal ones. The impact on my life is that I order my life according
to the priorities: whatever is attached to the
eternal and invisible things should be my
priority, in opposition to
the temporal and visible things that this
world offers. My prayer is that I will not detach my eyes from the
reward, keeping the perspective of the
eternity rather than taking the perspective of this temporal world of
sin and its promises.
