See Jesus In Everything

Deuteronomy 34:1-7
"Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, which is across from Jericho. And the Lord showed him all the land of Gilead as far as Dan, all Naphtali and the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the land of Judah as far as the Western Sea, the South, and the plain of the Valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees, as far as Zoar. 

Then the Lord said to him, “This is the land of which I swore to give Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, ‘I will give it to your descendants.’ I have caused you to see it with your eyes, but you shall not cross over there.”

So Moses the servant of the Lord died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the Lord. And He buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, opposite Beth Peor; but no one knows his grave to this day. Moses was one hundred and twenty years old when he died."

Moses was about to die.  If you recall recent events in his life, he had so displeased God that he was not going to be allowed to enter the Promised land after all that wandering in the wilderness for 40 years, putting up with a bunch of whiners and complainers, faithfully serving God.   Seems kind of unfair, doesn't it?.....until you know the whole story.  If you'd like to read all about it, follow this link.  You'll see why God whatvHe did and find out why Moses' grave cannot be found:

Secret Of Longevity.

Look at the last line of the passage above. Pretty amazing statement, huh? 120 years old, 20/20 vision and as vigorous as any 20 year old. What's his secret?  

The verses below in Hebrews 11 hold the clue.

Hebrews 11:23-27--23 

"By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king’s command.
24 By faith Moses, when he became of age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, 25 choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin, 26 esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt; FOR HE LOOKED TO THE REWARD.....

Whoa! Moses knew about Jesus!  
Yep!  "27 By faith he (Moses) forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he *endured as SEEING HIM WHO IS INVISIBLE."

JESUS IS THE KEY.
Those two capitalized phrases are the key: He saw Jesus in EVERYTHING!  Notice the word "endure" in verse 27?  It is the Greek word "kartereó," meaning " persevere, endure," comes from the root word "kratós."  Kratós means "dominion, strength, power."  Seeing Jesus in everything gave him supernatural strength.

There is only one occurrence of this word in the entire Bible; right here in this verse.

Transformed By Beholding.
This picture of Moses is the ultimate proof that we are transformed by beholding, just like it says in 2 Corinthians 3:18.  The word for beholding in this verse is "katoptrizó," meaning "mirror, reflect."

It also, like the word above, occurs only one time in the entire Bible, right here in this verse!

Remember when Moses first met God?  It was at the Birning Bush.  Just like that fire in the bush that did not consume it, so you and I can have supernatural strength and energy as well. 

Just do what Moses did:  SEE JESUS IN EVERYTHING!!!
