Saturday, September 7 [Moses] looked intently toward the payment of the reward. —Heb. 11:26. Moses was not distracted by “the temporary enjoyment of sin.” (Heb. 11:25) God and his promises were so real to Moses that he demonstrated extraor- dinary courage and endurance. He exerted himself untiringly in leading the Israelites out of Egypt to the Promised Land. Yet, Moses did not experience the ful- fillment of God’s promise in his lifetime. This was because earlier he and Aaron, exasperated by the people’s rebelliousness, “acted undutifully toward [God] in the middle of the sons of Israel at the waters of Meribah.” (Deut. 32:51, 52) Did Moses become despon- dent or resentful? No. He pro- nounced a blessing on the people and concluded with these words: “Happy you are, O Israel! Who is there like you, a people enjoying salvation in Jehovah, the shield of your help, and the One who is your eminent sword?”—Deut. 33: 29
