Hebrews‬ ‭11‬:‭24‬-‭26‬ ‭NIV‬‬ says

“By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh’s daughter. He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin. He regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward.”

What could have produced this kind of value system in Moses? What could have given him the desire to identify with God and His people despite growing up amongst idol worshippers and the high and mighty of Egypt?
