My Servant Moses He Is Faithful Throughout My Household

My servant Moses; he is faithful throughout My household. (Beha’alotcha 12:7)

Rabbi Nachum of Shtipinesht once said:

"Do you know what the difference is between me and my brother (the tzaddik Rabbi David Moshe of Chortkov)?

"When my brother takes the Book of Tehillim and begins to recite the verses of the Sweet Singer of Israel, the Holy One, blessed be He, says to him:

‘David Moshe, My son, I place the entire world in your hands—do with it as you wish.’

"If G-d were to place His world in my hands, I would know what to do with it.

“But my brother is such a faithful servant that he returns the world to G-d exactly as he received it from Him.”

Take-Away: The highest form of service is complete faithfulness—without ego or personal agenda.
