The Four Camps

16x20 Acrylic on Canvas
 
The Jewish nation had just left Egypt
They were taken out with miracles after being slaves for 210 years
 
Trauma filled their tired bodies and soul
And when they found themselves with the sea in front of them.. and the Egyptiana pursuing them from behind..
They panicked and split Into 4 camps
 
One said let's surrender and return to Egypt
One said let's fight the Egyptian
One said let's just drown ourselves in the sea
And one group said let's pray
 
Moshe, in the name of God, rejected all 4 options.
 
" Speak to the children of Israel and they shall go forward"
Trust your mission will be successful.
Don't get stuck in your fear.
 
And Nachshon followed those words...
And walked forward...
Stepping into the next right step
With trust in Hashem
And His promise.
 
This story always gives me strength.. to not get stuck in my fears and worries... And take just another step forward.
