Faith's Sight of Sinful Pleasures
Hebrews 11:24-26
By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;…


Faith made Moses leap out of the pleasures of the Egyptian court into the fire of affliction, because he saw them "pleasures for a season." Should you see a man in a ship throw himself overboard into the sea, you might at first think him out of his wits, but if a little while after you should see him stand safe on the shore and the ship swallowed up of the waves, you would then think he took the wisest course. Faith sees the world and all the pleasures of sin sinking; there is a leak in them which the wit of man cannot stop.

(W. Gurnall.)
