God’s greatest work of redemption was done when Jesus laid down His life at the Cross. When Jesus laid down His life, Father God displayed his greatest power to redeem Humanity.
Laying down our life means the inability to perform any action( although having the ability) or surrendering the situation into God’s hands.
When we lay our lives at Jesus’ feet, there is a chance that God will demonstrate His raw power to save, redeem, or help us, depending on the scenario.
Whenever Moses went to Pharaoh, Pharaoh’s heart became hardened, the situation became worse but when Moses surrendered the situation into God’s hands there was a display of God’s raw power.
There was fire from heaven when Elijah surrendered himself and the situation to God.
God always shows His raw power when we we accept our inability , surrender our self and the situation into God’s hands.
Moses had witnessed God’s raw might for 40 years since he had always laid down his life before God in all circumstances.
When there is even a smidgeon of human confidence, strength, or optimism, God’s sheer power to work on the situation is hampered.
Following a display of God’s power, Moses saw that the following/next scenario necessitated an even greater and different manifestation of God’s power. So he wasn’t lost in the past glimpses of God’s raw power, but was constantly laying down his life.
