That is rather vague. From your website I get the feeling that you are trying to witness to people what you have learned by the guidance of God.
I find myself wondering whether you are bad with words (like Moses) or just donÔÇÖt have a lot of time to spare at the momentÔÇª with Christmas only a week away and all.

That may sound like IÔÇÖm calling you out, but please donÔÇÖt think that. IÔÇÖm just curious as to what it is that make you feel so strongly that you know who God is and how He is.
Reading the book of Job is always a little enlightening to me. It reminds me that I cannot question why God wanted to use Saul to destroy the Amalekites (Women, Children, and Cattle included) and why He did not do it Himself with fire and brimstone from heaven like Sodom and Gomorrah. I can only assume that GodÔÇÖs reasoning was to test SaulÔÇÖs obedience (seeing as that whole thing with the Amalekites was the reason God then chose David to be King of Israel).

Just to make a note here: If you read Exodus 17:8-16 you will see where God first said He would blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven.
