Episode Summary

🌟 Welcome back to Truth Worth Living, where we uncover the timeless truths of God’s Word, guiding us in living according to His divine will! 📖 Seizing the Opportunity of Faith In Hebrews 11, we encounter the profound theme of seizing the opportunity to choose faith. Just like the ancient statue of Opportunity, faith beckons us to grasp the moment before it passes. Today, our focus shifts to Moses, whose faith journey began with others seizing the opportunity of faith on his behalf. The Faith of Moses' Parents Moses' faith story didn't commence with him, but with his parents who demonstrated remarkable faith. Hebrews 11:23 recounts how Moses' parents, Amram and Jochebed, defied Pharaoh's decree to preserve their son's life. Seeing Moses through the eyes of God, they courageously hid him for three months and ingeniously placed him in a basket on the Nile, entrusting him to God's providence. Cooperating with God's Plan Amram and Jochebed's faith involved cooperating with God's plan rather than seizing control themselves. Their unwavering devotion and obedience to God's leading set the stage for Moses' extraordinary destiny. Instead of trying to manipulate God's plan, they embraced it wholeheartedly, paving the way for Moses to embrace his own faith journey. The Result of Faithful Parenting Because of his parents' faithfulness, Moses grew up rejecting the opulence of Egypt and embracing his identity as a servant of God and His people. Despite his upbringing as the prince of Egypt, Moses chose to align himself with the oppressed Israelites, demonstrating the profound impact of his parents' faith on his life. Faith Worth Having, Truth Worth Living Through the faith of Moses' parents, we learn the power of seizing the opportunity to choose faith, even when circumstances seem dire. Their unwavering trust in God's plan set in motion a chain of events that shaped Moses' destiny and impacted generations to come. Let us seize the opportunity of faith, knowing that it leads to a truth worth living! 🌟🙏 #FaithJourney #MosesParentsFaith #TruthWorthLiving #Hebrews11
