Looking for the Yad Hahsem in our lives.

When Benei Yisrael where in the dessert they never knew when they would have to move their camp.  Hashem would send them a sign and they would have to move on.  It didn't matter if they liked one place better then another, sometimes they stayed in a place for a short time and sometimes for years.  Despite this they never complained. In our lives we have times of ease and times of trouble.  We have to know that it is all coming from Hashem.  Life is not always about movement, there are times when just handling the nisyonot that Hashem has given us is a time to hold on to our emunah and keep in one place.  In the dessert it was clear what Hashem wanted us to do, our challenge for this generation is to see Hahsem's message in our own life.  If we look for the hand of Hashem, we will see it, but if we don't look, we will never see it.  Often we can only see Hashem's hand by looking back at the events of our lives.  A good way of seeing the hand of Hashem is to make an effort to tell stories of Hashgacha Pratis.
