B”H
And if the cloud did not lift
up, they would not travel until the day which it would be lifted (Shemot 40:37)
This is praise for Bnei Yisroel
who despite having waited some time, would not move unless directed to by
Hashem. Bnei Yisroel understood that
Hashem was directing them according to a deeper spiritual plan and that everything
was for their own good. They therefore
made no attempt to travel further unless directed by Hashem. (Ramchal on the
Parsha, Kisvei Ramad Vali (606)
Sometimes we don’t have all of the information. Sometimes
things look hopeless. It is natural to
want to take action to do something, anything to change the situation. It is
much harder to trust that Hashem is the one in ultimate control and to wait
patiently for his will to be revealed. This is the time that really tests our
emunah.
Shabbat Shalom
