Today’s daily dose of emuna is dedicated for the refuah shleimah of Leah Chana bat Devorah a newborn who is still in NICU and undergoing a procedure today. May Hashem shower her with a complete healing among all of Ahm Yisrael who are sick and suffering, b’karov, b’rachamim, Amen.
In order for us to merit a yeshua there are two basic ‘requirements’. First is emuna shleimah, a complete trust in Hashem’s ability to better the situation. Second is a strong ratzon a genuine strong desire to see the yeshua. The second condition seems awkward upon first look; after all why wouldn’t a person truly want their hardship to be removed?
Yet we see from the events leading to the redemption from Mitzrayim that only 20% of the Jews left Egypt. This is a clear reference to a lack of desire. They did not desire or perhaps did not trust that Hashem could assist them in leaving Egypt. If we wish to remain enslaved to our material pursuits or egocentric needs or feel that Hashem is chas v’Shalom limited in His ability to ease our situation, our attitude ‘restricts’ so to speak the Divine flow of bracha from coming down. We seemingly set ourselves up for failure.
In the life of a Jew there is no room for logical calculations and scrutiny. There is no end to what Hashem can do. We cannot even begin to fathom the yeshua that can/will occur if we faithfully trust in Hashem’s loving kindness. Measure for measure just as we ‘break away’ from reasonable likelihoods, so too will Hashem shower upon us unimaginable ‘solutions’ to our dilemmas.
Hashem tailor-designs our lives down to the microscopic detail. Our choice lies in whether we choose to use emuna as our map and guide through life or not.
