Walk With Hashem

There is a phrase found in Deuteronomy 33 that refers to Hashem as רצון שכני סנה, translated as, “Fulfilling the will of the One who dwelled in the burning bush.”

This verse is used to emphasize that it is our duty to fulfill the will of G-d in this world. It should certainly be a priority for every human being to “walk in the ways of G-d.” It should be similarly important that it should be on our minds constantly, that we act in a way that is pleasing to G-d.

The Talmud in Masechet Yoma describes the individual whose business dealings are always honest, who always speaks kindly and gently with all people, and he is ready to serve the saintly men of Israel.

Of such a person Hashem says, “You are my people Israel. Through you, I will be glorified.”

The way to achieve this level of service, is to follow the will of the “One that dwells in the burning bush.” We must carefully study Hashem’s Torah and follow its precepts. All of the guidelines are there for us to live a fulfilling life, and to be able to, “Walk with G-d.”
