need anything from His creation? Of course not!

Isaiah 46:11
Truly I have spoken; truly I will bring it to pass. I have planned it, surely I will do
it.

Daniel 4:35
And all the inhabitants of the earth are accounted as nothing, but He does according
to His will in the host of heaven and among the inhabitants of earth; And no one can
ward off His hand or say to Him, 'What hast Thou done?'

Isaiah 40:15, 22
Behold, the nations are like a drop from a bucket, and are regarded as a speck of dust
on the scales... It is He who sits above the vault of the earth, and its inhabitants are
like grasshoppers...

Moses had to come to a place where he understood clearly his own utter weakness and
worthlessness in the eyes of God. Moses had nothing to offer God, though he had the best
education the world could offer and was considered a prince among men. Before God he
was insignificant. He was a speck. The entire nation of Egypt was as a single drop of water.
How much less was one man among the nation?
Until we see ourselves in this same light, we will not be ready to be entrusted with the
powers of the age to come. Moses was so reduced in his sight that when God appeared to
him when he was now eighty years old, Moses sought to convince God that He had chosen
the wrong man, for Moses had NOTHING to offer God.

Exodus 4:10, 13
Then Moses said to Yahweh, "Please, Lord, I have never been eloquent, neither
recently nor in time past, nor since You have spoken to Your servant; for I am slow
of speech and slow of tongue... Please, Lord, now send the message by whomever
You will."

Moses judged rightly that he had nothing to offer to God. There was nothing within
Moses to commend himself to God for this work. This is precisely why Moses was chosen.
God was looking for a man who would wield the powers of the age to come, and who would
not boast in what was done through him. Moses’ testimony after being used of Yahweh in
such a profound and powerful manner was always that it was Yahweh who had done it.
Moses did not take credit for the work of God. Moses did not promote himself, nor did he
seek any selfish profit from that which God chose to do through him.

Exodus 18:8-9
And Moses told his father-in-law all that Yahweh had done to Pharaoh and to
the Egyptians for Israel's sake, all the hardship that had befallen them on the
journey, and how Yahweh had delivered them.

Is not our tendency to speak of what we have done for God? Our journey upon this
earth is designed to teach us the same humility observed in Moses. Yahweh will lead His
