Haboteach b’Hashem chesed yesovevenu (The one who trusts in Hashem, kindness will envelop him). Why?
Firstly, Hashem does not want to ‘disappoint’ those who hope and display their reliance on Him. Secondly, measure for measure, when we entrust ourselves only in Hashem’s hands without any rhyme or reason attached to it, so shall our yeshua come about through illogical means. Let us not be confused. Illogical is not miraculous. It is simply a way in which we hadn’t realized the yeshua could occur.
Lastly, because I allowed myself to trust in that which I cannot see, the path that my yeshua will travel on to reach me will not be shown to the harmful forces which may dispute my worthiness in receiving it measure for measure.
Sometimes, we still feel, though, that we are undeserving of a yeshua due to our transgressions. Yet, if we closely read the passuk above again, we shall see that Hashem’s kindness embraces us as a result of our trust, not our worthiness. It is appropriately known as chesed chinam (unconditional kindness).
The conclusion to this: when we fail to hope and wait for the yeshua, we deprive ourselves from allowing Hashem’s kindness to cuddle us. Hashem wants to shower us with good, His goodness and our eternal best. However, if we stop ourselves from hoping, we essentially seal off the channel for the yeshua to arrive.
So what am I hoping and trusting Hashem to do? Steer me away from anything that is not beneficial for me in this world. I do not want to travel on a road which is unsafe for me to be on. Hashem is my ‘tour guide’ in this world and I am but a tourist needing Him to show me the way to the most exalted lofty places!

Today’s daily dose is dedicated to the refuah shleimah of Akiva Meir ben Malka a beautiful two year old who is running a high fever and simply not doing well. May HaKadosh Baruch Hu shower him with a complete healing amongst all of those sick and suffering in Klal Yisrael, b’karov, b’rachamim, Amen!
