How many of us are ‘disappointed’ with life’s circumstances? We have so many questions to which many there appear to be no answers. Yet, there is emuna.
Emuna stems from wisdom of the soul not of the bodily mind (seichel). It is a place that is beyond bodily awareness and understanding. For this reason, we live by the motto, ‘When intellect kicks out, emuna kicks in’. Emuna takes us to places far beyond worldly logic.
The neshama is a piece of eternity – Infinite wisdom. Therefore emunas borders are boundless and without restraint. No matter how deep we probe man’s logic cannot feed the ‘emuna mind’. The soul’s essence extends far beyond the power of worldly reason.
In Tehillim (130:7) it is written: “Israel will hope to Hashem for with Hashem’s kindness and with Him is abundant f’dut (redemption)”. We await the time for Hashem’s compassion to be openly revealed. Endless care is raining down on Israel yet our eyes cannot see and our hearts may not comprehend. We turn to emuna and the teachings of the Torah where it states time and again “You are My children”.
As a result we are infused with love, happiness and security that dismiss any thoughts of abandonment, unworthiness or punishment. Emuna is our answer.
