A beautiful picture of Israel following the L-RD’s commands is presented in this week’s parashah. The L-RD instructs the people, through Moses, how and when they are to move camp or not.
The Torah specifically states that the people of Israel did all that the L-RD commanded in this regard; they never moved camp until the L-RD said move; they stopped when the L-RD indicated they were to stop, also. Isn’t that a picture of what God would have us all do?
We should not presume to know too much about God’s will for us, but to constantly seek Him out in prayer, moving only when he says to, and stopping once he stops. Only by strict obedience can we truly confess that we are following the L-RD’s direction with our lived.
Anything less is doing “our own thing.”
