Principle— It is often in our most difficult seasons in life where G-D speaks to us the most.
Parasha Bamidbar
In the wilderness of Sinai, on the first day of the second month in the second year from the Exodus from the land of Egypt, Adonai spoke to Moses in the Tent of Meeting saying,
Parasha Bamidbar
Now it happened in those days, after Moses had grown up, that he went out to his brothers and saw their burdens. He noticed an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his own people.
So he looked around and when he saw that there was nobody, he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.
Then he went out the following day, and saw two Hebrew men fighting. So he said to the guilty one, “Why are you beating your companion?”
But the man answered, “Who made you a ruler and a judge over us? Are you saying you’re going to kill me—just as you killed the Egyptian?” Then Moses was afraid, and thought, “For sure the deed had become known.”
When Pharaoh heard about this, he tried to kill Moses. But Moses fled from Pharaoh and settled in the land of Midian, where he sat down by a well.
Parasha Bamidbar
Now Moses was tending the flock of his father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian. So he led the flock to the farthest end of the wilderness, coming to the mountain of God, Horeb.
Then the angel of Adonai appeared to him in a flame of fire from within a bush. So he looked and saw the bush burning with fire, yet it was not consumed.
Moses thought, “I will go now, and see this great sight. Why is the bush not burnt?”
When Adonai saw that he turned to look, He called to him out of the midst of the bush and said, “Moses, Moses!” So he answered, “Hineni.”

Parasha Bamidbar
A psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.
O God, You are my God, earnestly I seek You. My soul thirsts for You. My flesh longs for You in a dry and weary land, where there is no water.
So, I looked for You in the Sanctuary, to see Your power and Your glory.
Since Your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips will praise You.
Parasha Bamidbar
Then Yeshua was led by the Ruach into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.
After He had fasted for forty days and forty nights, He was hungry.
And when the tempter came to Him, he said, “If You are Ben-Elohim, tell these stones to become bread.”
But He replied, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’ ”
Parasha Bamidbar
You are to remember all the way that Adonai your God has led you these 40 years in the wilderness—in order to humble you, to test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His mitzvot or not.
He afflicted you and let you hunger, then He fed you manna—which neither you nor your fathers had known—in order to make you understand that man does not live by bread alone but by every word that comes from the mouth of Adonai.
Neither did your clothing wear out on you, nor did your foot swell these 40 years.
Now you know in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so Adonai your God disciplines you.

Parasha Bamidbar
So be patient, brothers and sisters, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient for it until it receives the early and late rain.
You also be patient. Strengthen your hearts because the coming of the Lord is near.
Do not grumble against one another, brothers and sisters, so that you may not be judged. Behold, the judge is standing at the doors.
As an example of suffering and patience, brothers and sisters, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
Behold, we consider blessed those who showed endurance. You have heard of the endurance of Job, and you have seen the outcome of Adonai—that Adonai is full of compassion and mercy.
