The document is a collection of hymns and passages from the Bible about following God. It describes how Moses initially struggled in confronting Pharaoh to free the Israelites from slavery, as Pharaoh questioned who God was and made the Israelites' workload harder. However, God reminded Moses of who He is and that Moses should continue putting one foot in front of the other. The document encourages remembering God's character and promises when facing difficulties in following Him.
