Moses, Servant of God
Feast of Tabernacles Sermon by John W. RitenbaughMoses, renowned as a servant of the LORD, exemplified unparalleled humility, a trait that set him apart among all men on the face of the earth, as declared in Numbers 12:3. Despite his high standing and the immense responsibilities entrusted to him, he did not exhibit ego or self-importance. His humility was not a sign of weakness but a profound strength, born from an honest recognition of his own flaws, which drove him to constantly seek God's assistance, feeling unworthy of the monumental tasks laid upon him. This characteristic manifested practically in his life as he refrained from imposing himself on others or throwing his weight around, choosing instead to serve quietly and confidently with all his heart in whatever capacity God assigned him. God Himself affirmed this virtue in Numbers 12:7, stating that Moses was faithful in all His house, highlighting his reliability and dependability in carrying out every obligation without seeking personal glory, even amidst personal sacrifice or challenging circumstances.
