Good morning Bitachon of the day ❤️
Without Emunah, the pure and complete faith in Hashem, one's observance of Torah is ever so vulnerable. Therefore, the evil inclination will do everything to prevent a person from strengthening Emunah. Why? With Emunah, a person derives conviction, commitment, inner strength and above all, inner peace.
A person might have doubts about Emunah. No one wants to waste time learning something that's not true. How do we know that Emunah is true?
A soul that connects to Hashem in this world will discover truth. Why?
The first time I heard the word “Emunah” upon arriving in Brooklyn. They couldn’t stop talking about how their father, Isaac, possessed the strongest Emunah. When a business deal fell through, he reassured his kids, saying, "Don’t worry, Hashem will provide in another way. Stop worrying; Hashem will handle it." This unwavering belief was a foreign concept to me. How was his faith so strong? How did he rely solely on Hashem?
Today, I can comprehend his unwavering faith in Hashem. Regardless of the effort we invest or the extent to which we strive to shape our outcomes, if Hashem has decreed otherwise, our efforts may prove futile.
You might exert tremendous effort, toil long hours each day, and still struggle to make ends meet. Conversely, you could work fewer hours and earn a substantial income if Hashem has decreed it to be your destiny.
How can we delegate it all to Hashem?
These are the perpetual questions that occupy our minds. How do we entrust our concerns to someone we cannot engage in dialogue with, someone beyond our sensory perception, whom the Torah and sages instruct us to have complete faith in?
When you realize in your soul that Hashem is the one making the decision for you, you will see the world in a different light.
Trust in Hashem is the basis of our belief system. It is also one of the most comforting thoughts that a human can come to. And it is also one of the most effective ways for us to secure Hashem’s direct involvement in our lives, even in a manner that we might not otherwise deserve.
May we each discover our personal connection to Hashem and have unwavering faith that He is always present to protect us. Amen 🙏
Wishing you all a wonderful day ❤️
