‘For he endured as seeing him who is invisible’

‘For he endured as seeing him who is invisible’ says the Bible about Moses. END OF STORY? – Sometimes I really don’t know!

May it always be said about us as born again believers as it is said about Moses: Hebrews 11:27 “for he endured as seeing him who is invisible”. (RSV) The NIV says “he persevered because he saw him who is invisible”. Thinking about the word endured I am thinking about standing still. Perseverance seems to be talking about being on the move. Tell me if I am wrong. But the Collins dictionary seems to support that somehow. But I like the Luther translation best. It almost says in the German Luther Bible that Moses was hanging on to the Lord. Althougn he did not see him he was hanging on. That is FAITH! It is good to have something to hang on to. Or is the Lord not having us in his hands? But we are prone to forget, are we not?
