Isaiah 10

The Lord said of the "stout heart" of the king of Assyria - 

"Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith? or shall the saw magnify itself against him that shaketh it? as if the rod should shake itself against them that lift it up, or as if the staff should lift up itself, as if it were no wood."  (Isaiah 10:15)

Anytime I may be in the service of the Lord and consider that I did it in any prideful manner, this scripture reminds me of who really did it.  I am reminded of the words of Ammon - 

"...I ask, what great blessings has he bestowed upon us? Can ye tell?

3 Behold, I answer for you; for our brethren, the Lamanites, were in darkness, yea, even in the darkest abyss, but behold, how many of them are brought to behold the marvelous light of God! And this is the blessing which hath been bestowed upon us, that we have been made instruments in the hands of God to bring about this great work."  (Alma 26:2–3)

My greatest desire is to be made and instrument in the hands of God.
