Consider Jesus

"He considered the contempt and abuse and shame [borne for] the Christ (the Messiah Who was to come) to be greater wealth than all the treasure of Egypt, for he looked forward and away to the reward (recompense)." Hebrews 11:26 AMPC

When you are tempted to sin; when you are tempted to fall into the world for what you think is a certain ease (although it is only a moment of ease, eventually leading to a long term heartache), remember the determination of Moses, and, like him, consider Jesus.  Jesus prevails over all worldly ease and quick satisfactions.  So, if you can focus on Him, not on the moment, then your decisions will be God-blessed, God-beneficial, and will bear God-bearing fruit of which you will never be ale to receive from the world.

Considering Jesus equals actions, thoughts, and decisions that reach into your eternal destiny, which is being seated in Heaven at the right hand of Jesus Christ himself.
