Daily Chizuk #0684
Weekly Parasha
The Absolute Best: Trusting Beyond Our Understanding
Parashat Chukat: The Right Reaction
The pasuk says in this week’s Parasha, Chukat, ולא היה מים לעדה – the Jewish People were thirsting for water. But instead of being calm about it and asking Hashem for help, they complained bitterly to Moshe Rabbenu, regretting the fact that they even left Mitzrayim. When a person has a need, he must internalize that Hashem knows about his need even more than he does. Hashem can take care of all a person’s needs in a second. There is obviously a reason the person has the need at this moment and his job is to react the way Hashem wants him too, whether it is by being patient or praying hard or thanking Hashem more for what he does have. But complaining is definitely not the right reaction. Realizing how much Hashem knows about our needs should help us react the way we are supposed to when a need does arrive.
Hashem knows about all our needs much better than we do, and He could grant them to us in a moment. Our job is to be patient and remain calm and pray for help, recognizing that our attitude is part of our avodat Hashem.
Shabbat Shalom!!
