The Choice to Trust in HaShem Yisro, Moshe's father-in-law, journeyed into the desert to rendezvous with Moshe and Klal Yisrael. Yisro heard from Moshe a first hand account of the great miracles that HaShem performed for Klal Yisrael. He returned to Midian, his country, in order to influence his people to convert. Despite his report of the power of HaShem and His love for Klal Yisrael, the Midianites refused to accept the truth. They elected to wage war against Klal Yisrael, which lead to their own defeat.
Lesson: We have the choice to recognize and accept the existence of HaShem. Open your heart to accept the truth of HaShem and you will succeed in all of your endeavors. Visualization: Envision Moshe Rabenu telling you about the miracles that took place during the Ten Plagues and the Splitting of the Red Sea. Sense the truth of his words impacting your heart and instilling the foundations of faith in HaShem within your heart. Spend a few minutes each day counting your blessings and strengthening your faith in HaShem -- and steadily increase your inner joy. Click Here to view the Salant Mussar Library Collection |
