The Lord we Serve

Notice what the Lord said to Moses on the mountain when Moses first looked upon his own weakness, and not upon the Lord's strength.

And Moses said to God, Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring out the sons of Israel from Egypt? And He said, I will be with you, and this shall be the sign for you that I have sent you, when you bring out the people from Egypt: You shall serve God on this mountain. Exodus 3:11-12 LITV

The Lord had called Moses to a place of service, for him to lead the Israelites out of the hands of Pharaoh, but instead at looking how small the mission was to God, he looked at his own weakness, and how big the mission was to him.

The Lord said to Moses, I will be with you. Moses looked upon himself instead of God. Moses feared in his own weakness compared to Pharaoh's strength.

The opposite to David before he fought against Goliath, David looked at Goliath and thought, look how small Goliath looks to God.

Moses did eventually change the focus to the strength of the Lord, and both, Moses and David had faith in the Lord, and obeyed Him, and God gave them the strength to do according to His will.

The same with His people today, the Bible says, Philippians 4:13 LITV
I can do all things through Christ, the One giving me power. 

The Lord is doing His Work in and through His people, and strengthens them to do according to His will.

The Bible says in Galatians 2:20 LITV I have been crucified with Christ, and I live; yet no longer I, but Christ lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh, I live by faith toward the Son of God, the One loving me and giving Himself over on my behalf. 

The believer is like the glove and Christ is the Hand. For example, what use does a glove have when there is no hand inside, no use, the glove is useless. Can the glove be used for the purpose it was made for without the hand, no, the glove can not. The glove is dead without the life and strength of the hand. It is the hand working in and through the glove.

The same with Christ and His Church, Christ is working in and through His Church according to His perfect Word.
