Charles Stanley Daily Devotional TOPIC: Overcoming Trials
TODAY’S SCRPTURE: Hebrews 11:23-29
Moses faced some tough times. He fled from a murder charge, spent years in the desert, led a grumbling nation whose allegiance ran hot and cold, and more. Today we’ll explore what a challenge it was for Moses to stand toe-to-toe with a ruler who scorned him—and how he endured.
Even though he returned to Egypt with an unmistakable call from God (Exodus 3:10), appearing before Pharaoh must still have been intimidating. And Moses had to plead with him repeatedly for the Israelites’ release. Pharaoh was not fazed by locusts, convinced by boils, or softened by water turning to blood. In fact, he made life even harder for the Israelites. In turn, the Hebrew people heaped ingratitude on the one tasked with liberating them.
Moses, however, kept returning to the palace until he’d achieved the Lord’s purpose—the release of the Israelite slaves. And while leading the exodus from Egypt, “he endured, as seeing Him who is unseen” (Heb. 11:27). With a stack of trials behind and even more to come, Moses moved forward, aware that he was walking in the Lord’s presence.
God had pledged to be with him (Exodus 3:12). So, fixing his focus on that promise and the One who made it, Moses wisely trusted that whatever trials he faced, God would bring victory.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Matthew 22-24
THOUGHT FOR TODAY: Moses endured because He fixed His eyes on the Lord.
