Today’s daily dose of emuna is dedicated to the refuah shleimah of Brana bat Chana. May Hashem send her a complete healing b’riut hanefesh v’b’riut haguf among all of Klal Yisrael who are sick and suffering b’karov, b’rachamim, Amen.
What is Siyatta D’shmaya (Divine assistance)? We hear the words so often but may not actually appreciate the gift implanted within. An amazing advantage to receiving Divine assistance is its ability to help us make better decisions with pure clarity and reassurance. Life is adorned with confusing options and we often simply do not know where to turn. Being gifted with Divine assistance makes one feel as though the road ahead is free of obstacles and they know exactly where to go.
Divine help is readily detected when someone appears to have ‘super-power’ strength to move forward and ignores what others may interpret as hindrances. The reason this is so is that when a person acts out of holiness and is prepared to put in an extra dose of self-sacrifice, Hashem sees it through. However, our emuna in Hashem that He will complete the task evokes Hashem’s intimate intervention and helps completes the task at hand.
When we hold on to the idea that we are in control; Hashem so to speak ‘let’s go’ and enables the system of nature to take over. In other words, when we let go Hashem is let in. When Hashem comes in, the blessings pour forth leaving us with an undeniable sense of His loving warm care.
