“By faith Moses … choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin, esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt; for he looked to the reward.” (Heb. 11:24-26)
Notice that sometimes faith makes a godly choice that leads to additional affliction! Moses’ faith decision is referred to here as “esteeming the reproach of Christ grater riches than the treasures in Egypt.” Are you willing to be reproached (public ridicule for your faith) for Christ’s sake? Faith looks to the long-term spiritual rewards over the short-term earthly rewards.
