When we introspect and look within ourselves, we know what we want to do in life. Staying focussed on our mission and not getting distracted is what's important.
When you are debating on whether to do one thing or another, try remembering what your goal is and reminding yourself that that's Gd's purpose for you, having emunah that it will lead you towards your goal.
God knows what is best for us, and we should follow that. It is easy to look back on the good times and want to go back there when moving forward is challenging. But it is important to face those challenges and do what's right and what's best, and to not get distracted by what could be easier or more comfortable.
Two related things I’ve learned from this: 1) freedom is hard because it comes with responsibility, which is part of the reason the Jews wanted to go back to Egypt, and 2) there will always be similar distractions from our goal, and the Torah is showing us here that though the end may appear murky from afar, it’s worth it to push through.
The story of the Jewish people in the desert is also an example of keeping your eye on the ball - stay with your goal. It's an ancient story that has a modern day message.
We can learn from the Israelites challenging God by wanting to return to Egypt that we ought to stay focused on what we want in life and not get sidetracked by distractions.
Ten keeps popping up. Never knew that There were ten challenges at the sea. Only knew of the famous ten plagues. God can challenge us all the time because he has all the power, but i didn’t realize that we could challenge God, who has all the power.
I didn't know there were another 10 plauges at the sea, whereby the Jewish people challegned G-d 10 times. We only remembered the good parts of Egypt, and quickly forgot about the hardships; in life, we should focus on what is best for us, not what is comfortable.
I had no idea there were another ten plagues / challenges that Hashem gave us after crossing the red sea. It makes sense because I remember learning about Moshe hitting the rock to give us water and therefore could no enter the promised land. So I guess he failed that one whoops 🤭
One takeaway is that we should be certain of our goals without getting distracted. Even though Egypt was weakened and would've been easy to take, the real goal was Israel.
In our lives, we all have our own wants and desires, and it's very likely that they'll contradict with Hashem's. However, we have to remember that Hashem put us in the world for a reason, so when something we might want to do conflicts with Hashem's plan for us, we should remind ourselves why we were created in the first place.
