Moses was aware that there is pleasure in sin, but it’s a fleeting

pleasure. Faith enables a person to see that fleeting pleasure and say no

because they know there is a reward (v26), the lasting pleasure that comes

from God in Christ. Faith here is not the will-power of self-control, but robust

confidence that God’s word is true, and that no eye has seen nor ear heard

the glorious things God has prepared for those who love him. John Piper’s

Future Grace will be a helpful resource for this sermon.
