Torah 115

You finally decide I want to get close to Hashem. I want to change. And somehow instead of getting easier, life gets harder. More distractions, more resistance, more things getting in your way. Nachman says, "Don't automatically read resistance as rejection." Pasuk says, "Moshe nigash el ha'arafel asher into the fog, cuz that's where Hashem was. That's the crazy part of the story. Hashem can actually hide himself inside the obstacle. So, you want to daven better, work on your marriage, become a better parent, break an old habit, become a better Yid, and suddenly you hit a wall. Don't immediately assume the wall means turn around. [music] Look inside it. Maybe the struggle itself is where Hashem is waiting for you. The crowd saw the fog and stood far away. Moshe walked into it. >> [music] >> Sometimes getting closer to Hashem means walking straight through the fog.
