Deeds, not Words

ויאמר יי' אל משה מה תצעק אלי, אלי דייקא, דבר אל בני ישראל ויסעו, ויסעו דייקא, במזלא הוה תלי דבעא לאוקיר דקניה והישר בעיניו תעשה והאזנת למצותיו ושמרת כל חקיו עד כאן, כי אני יי' רפאך להאי דוקא

ספרא דצניעותא

And HaShem said to Moshe, what are you shouting at Me? At Me, specifically! Tell to Bnei Yisrael that they should travel [and that they should stop shouting at Me]! It [the Geula] is dependent on the Highest One. He wants to show His Grandeur [but whether you will see it depends on you]. [To merit the Geula:] Do what is right in His eyes, pay attention to His commandments and keep all His decrees, and then, but only to such people, "I am HaShem your Healer."
