Good morning Bitachon of the day ❤️
In life, we never know how the day will end up. We plan, and Hashem laughs. How will you react? Will you be upset and angry, or will you go with the flow and trust that Hashem has His own reasons for things to happen in ways we don’t always understand?
Today, for example, I was on a plane that never took off due to technical reasons. I thought I wouldn't have time to write my Bitachon for the day because I was too busy. Yet, here I am, reflecting on the very lesson that life's unexpected turns can teach us. Trusting in Hashem means accepting that His plans, though mysterious, are always for the best.
After reading my Bitachon of the day, my Rabbanit asked me not to stop because people need my daily reminders on how to connect to Hashem. I promised her I would try my best. Right now, we are five hours delayed, so Hashem has given me plenty of time to write today.
While we were deboarding, I saw one of my mom’s childhood friends whom I hadn't seen in 24 years. As soon as I saw her, she gave me a hug and said she had been thinking about my mom this week. I was so happy to see her and spend time with her; it reminded me of the good old days. Her accent and her voice were as familiar as ever.
"Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails”
The phrase underscores the belief that while it is natural and necessary for us to make plans, it is important to remain humble and recognize that not everything is within our control but it is all in Hashem’s hands.
Even though we are still waiting to board the plane and receiving bad news every 30 minutes about the boarding time changing, I am neither angry nor upset. Instead, I am relaxed and laughing with my boys. It feels so good not to take things to heart, especially when we can’t do anything about it. When you truly feel and understand the power of Hashem, your whole life will drastically change for the better.
When you remain calm and not upset, those around you are also less likely to be upset. Your composure helps others feel good, too.
May we understand that Hashem runs our lives, and whatever path we are on or however it turns out, let us accept it with Simcha. Amen 🙏.
Wishing you all a wonderful day ❤️
