God's omnipotence. The Book of Amos is attributed to him. "Amos saw God as personally in control of all the world.

The story asks us to do two main things: (i) trust in our leaders and (ii) be humble as he that exalts himself shall be humbled and he that humble himself shall be exalted.

Exodus 3:11 says, “But Moses said to God, ‘Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?’” God responded to Moses by working several miracles through him and yet Moses replies in Exodus 4:13, “Pardon your servant, Lord.

Deuteronomy Journal 5A Almost forty years after the Israelites were sentenced to wander in the wilderness, Moses started telling the people what God had told him about them. Moses reminded the people of all of the events that had happened to them.
