The humble servant understands his relationship with the Lord. All miracles occur by the power of God with his servants acting as instruments. The servant is the hammer, but the Lord drives the nail. Isaiah rebuked the pride of the king of Assyria by asking, Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith? or shall the saw magnify itself against him that shaketh it? (Isa 10:15). After Ammon’s success as a missionary among the Lamanites, he began to rejoice in the fruit of his labors. His brother, Aaron said, I fear that thy joy doth carry thee away unto boasting. But Ammon said unto him: I do not boast in my own strength…I know that I am nothing; as to my strength I am weak; therefore I will not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God, for in his strength I can do all things; yea behold, many mighty miracles we have wrought in this land, for which we will praise his name forever (Alma 26:10-13).
