LOOK TO THE REWARD

October 30, 2026

By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, choosing rather to endure ill-treatment with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin, . . .for he was looking to the reward. Hebrews 11:24-26

1. RESIST FEAR. When Moses was born, there was an edict to kill all the Hebrew newborn sons. Moses’ mother hid her baby because she didn’t want him to be subject to the ethnic cleansing and the evil of that particular era. She deflected fear and used her faith to take action to save her child’s life!

You can fight the good fight of faith and get to the other side to breakthrough!

2. RUN TOWARD GOD. Just like his mother resisted the evil of the times, Moses refused to identify with a worldly culture even though he grew up in Pharaoh’s household. Moses didn’t capitalize on the idea that Pharaoh’s daughter had adopted him, but he had something drawing him to God that caused him to refuse his surroundings.

3. REGARD WHAT IS UNSEEN. “By faith [Moses] left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured, as seeing Him who is unseen” (Hebrews 11:27). If you are in the middle of a battle right now, look not at the things which are seen but at the things that are not seen (2 Corinthians 4:18).

DEFINITION: looked (Greek: apoblepō), verb

A graphic word combining apo, “away from,” and blepō, “to see.”
The word literally means “to look away from everything else in order to look intently on one object.”

SAY THIS OUT LOUD:

“We look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal” (2 Corinthians 4:18).
