Proverbs 2:2-5
Let your ears listen to wisdom. Apply your heart to understanding.Call out for the ability to be wise. Cry out for understanding.Look for it as you would look for silver.

Moses had faith. So he refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter. That happened after he had grown up.He chose to be treated badly together with the people of God. He chose not to enjoy sin’s pleasures. They only last for a short time.He suffered shame because of Christ. He thought it had great value. Moses considered it better than the riches of Egypt. He was looking ahead to his reward.

Philippians 3:7-9
I thought things like that were really something great. But now I consider them to be nothing because of Christ.Even more, I consider everything to be nothing compared to knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. To know him is worth much more than anything else. Because of him I have lost everything. But I consider all of it to be garbage so I can know Christ better.I want to be joined to him. Being right with God does not come from my obeying the law. It comes because I believe in Christ. It comes from God because of faith.
