Moses esteemed the reproach of Christ as greater riches than Egypt's treasures, teaching us to evaluate our decisions based on God's principles rather than worldly values. In a world that often prioritizes wealth and success, it can be challenging to make decisions that align with God's values. However, true wisdom involves counting the cost and recognizing that the world's riches cannot compare to the eternal rewards of following Christ. Moses' decision to prioritize God's principles over worldly values serves as a powerful example for us today.
Evaluating decisions based on God's principles requires a deep understanding of His Word and a commitment to living according to His values. It involves a conscious effort to prioritize spiritual integrity over worldly success. This choice may not always be easy, as it often requires us to go against the grain and reject what society deems important. However, by following Moses' example, we can find the courage to make decisions that honor God and lead to a life of purpose and fulfillment. When we choose God's path, we are investing in a future that holds eternal significance, far beyond the temporary accolades of this world.
Proverbs 16:16 (ESV): "How much better to get wisdom than gold! To get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver."
Reflection: How do you currently evaluate your decisions? What steps can you take to ensure that your choices align with God's principles?
