“I know that man is nothing”

“It came to pass that it was for the space of many hours before Moses did again receive his natural strength like unto man; and he said unto himself: Now, for this cause I know that man is nothing, which thing I never had supposed” (Moses 1:10).

•How did Moses describe himself as compared to God?
Moses had seen God, and felt the strength and power of God, he realized that compared to God, he was nothing, he had no strength, no power.

•How can a little child be of infinite worth and still be nothing when compared to his or her parents?
A child is of infinite worth because of their innocence and their dependance upon parents. They can do nothing without their parents, they are completely and totally dependent upon their parents for everything.

•Write about how recognizing your helplessness to overcome your addiction on your own can bring you to admit your own nothingness and become as a little child.
I have tried many things to loose weight and nothing works. I finally have given up. I realize that I cannot do this without God's help. I cannot do anything without God's help. I am nothing. I can do nothing. I am like a child, lost, forgotten and without guidance. I need God's help to overcome this addiction I have to food. I cannot control my cravings. I cannot control my appetite. I cannot control myself. I get so hungry. I want so much to eat everything. I binge and binge and binge. How can I control this? It is quite obvious, I can't. I need God's help, His redeeming power to save me.
