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.
