You can witness G-d perform the greatest miracles in history, and you can still die a slave.
The Jewish people were about to enter the Land of Israel. They had seen astonishing plagues hit Egypt with surgical precision. They had walked through a sea on dry land. Every morning they had eaten miraculous food that fell from the sky. The water they drank in the parched desert came out of solid rock. And when the moment came to enter the Promised Land, ten leaders stood up and said, "We cannot do this. No sea will split for us here. The skies will not feed us in the new land. The miracles are behind us. G-d will not show up this time."
These leaders may have seen miracles, but seeing miracles and learning from miracles are two completely different acts.
We can witness G-d tear up the laws of physics on our behalf and still walk away with a slave's heart, unless we are prepared to do the inner work of extracting meaning from the miracles.
You, too, have miracles. There were times when an opportunity emerged out of nothing. Times when a phone rang with the exact news you needed at the exact moment you needed it. Times when healing happened that no one could explain. Hashem was teaching you, in your own language, that the rules you think govern your life are, in fact, entirely under His control. If you do not catalog those moments, if you do not sit with them and let them rewire your operating system, then when the next mountain shows up, you will default right back to the slave's logic. "It cannot be done. The giants are too big for me to conquer."
This week, in honor of the Torah portion, get specific. You could sit with a notebook and write down the big miracles you have personally experienced in your life. Then ask yourself one electrifying question. If G-d already did THAT for me, what on earth makes me think He will not do this? Your evidence will be sitting in front of you. Read it. The Promised Land is waiting for you to finally and fully believe and learn from Hashem's signs.
May we see many open and revealed miracles, and may we learn from them that Hashem has our back and runs the world to the very detail!!
Shabbat Shalom!
We bless the new month of Tammuz!
