Nothing for Me

Hebrews 11:24-27

New King James Version (NKJV)
24 By faith Moses, when he became of age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, 25 choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin, 26 esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt; for he looked to the reward.

I look back on life with not a little regret.  As I believe that I am drawing nearer to God and He in turn is drawing near to me; I feel that I have wasted a lot of time.  There is a world that is hurting, lost like sheep having no shepherd and God has commanded us to make them disciples.  He has empowered us to do so!
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, let us make Moses our example and forsake the cares and riches of this world and seek true heavenly riches.  Let us like Jesus look on the multitudes with compassion and be moved.  


Hebrews 12:1-2

New King James Version (NKJV)
12 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
