Choosing one way or the other

I was considering my faith in many things this morning and how my faith in the natural things of life can let me down. When God sees mankind in general He sees a failure on their part because of sin. We as His creation have many choices in life which either can lead us down a path that steers us away from God or a path that leads us to the Throne of God. In Hebrews 11:24-26 we see an account of Moses and his choice in life. He could easily have stayed in the 'lap of luxury' in Pharaohs palace being disobedient to God and just run his life as the pleasures of sin dictated. This was not his choice and he went on to be a great leader empowered by God to do the will of God. He still made mistakes but because of God's mercy he still was blessed as he kept his faith in the one who had given him a great work to do. He renounced his way of going for God's way. This is a great picture for believers today. Its easy to stay in the comfort zone and not make hard decisions in our lives for God. Renouncing the old way and embracing  wholeheartedly the new person that we have become through the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the only way forward for the believer. A total faith in what God has for each one us in this temporal life is paramount in which a total surrendering to Him is the key to a blessed life. Many will let us down whether knowingly or unknowingly but the Lord Jesus Christ is the one who is 'the same yesterday and today and forever'. No one else can top that.
