Hebrews 11:27 - Choose Faith Over Fear.
Hebrews 11:27 (NLT) It was by faith that
Moses left the land of Egypt, not fearing the
kings anger. He kept right on going because he
kept his eyes on the one who is invisible.
COMMENTARY PEARL
Moses made some intentional resolutions
about how to live his life, and its important
that you do too. One of Mosess resolutions was
this: He chose to live by faith rather than by
fear.
Youre going to face the same choice.
Will you choose to live by faith or by fear?
The Bible says in Hebrews 11:27, By
faith he left Egypt, not fearing the kings
anger; he persevered because he saw him who is
invisible (NIV).
Moses went to the most powerful man in
the world and said, You know those slaves
that are building all your pyramids? Im taking
them, and were all leaving. Youre not going
to have slave labor anymore. Let my people
go.
Moses had every reason to be afraid. He
was standing against the most powerful man on
the planet. In those days, Pharaoh was
considered a god, and whatever Pharaoh said was the
law.
And here comes Moses, saying, We
arent going to do what you say anymore. Im not
afraid of you because I report to a higher
authority. It took some guts to do that!
Do you want the same kind of faith in
your life so that you can overcome your fear? The
closer you get to God, the more youre going to
be filled with faith. The further away you get
from God, the more youre going to be filled
with fear.
I cannot over-emphasize the importance of
faith for the rest of your life. The Bible says,
Whatever is not of faith is sin (Romans 14:23
TLV).
How many times did you sin this week? A
lot. So did I. Anything I did that wasnt done
in faith - that I did in doubt - was a sin.
The Bible also says, Without faith it
is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6
NIV). How many times did you please God this
week?
Do you want something to change in your
life? Stop complaining and start believing. God is
not moved by complaints. God is moved by faith:
According to your faith let it be done to you
(Matthew 9:29 NIV). Your faith has a big impact on
what God does in your life.
Heres the key: What matters is not the
size of your faith but the size of our God. A
little faith in a big God gets big results! [Daily
