Do You Believe? - Message 11 - Faith for the Future. We learned last Sunday that because of his faith Moses refused to be called the son of Pharoah's daughter. Going a step further we will see in this message that by faith he forsook Egypt. He left it all behind. Moses left Egypt twice. The first time it was after he had killed an Egyptian who was beating a Hebrew (see Exodus 2:11-15). As he fled it was specifically because he did fear Pharoah and the consequences of his sin. The second time he left Egypt he did not fear Pharoah, for the second time he left he was leading the people to freedom from their bondage after witnessing the ten plagues and the power of God. What was the difference between these two situations? The first time Moses was depending upon himself to help his people in his own strength. The second time he was depending upon God to deliver his people. Think about it as we compare these two occassions. We will see the difference between fleeing Egypt and forsaking Egypt. Moses was able to lead like this because he had learned to endure. Forty years in the desert teaches one patience if anything. As Moses had waited on God and grown in his walk with God he had learned to endure. It says he endured as seeing Him who is invisible. Moses knew God. Here is Hebrews 11:1 for us in real life – faith is “the evidence of things not seen.” Moses endured and learned to depend upon God as though he could see the invisible. How is this possible? Faith gave him eyes to see and ears to hear what God had to show him.
