Today’s daily dose of emuna is dedicated for the refuah shleimah of Refoel Yisroel ben Esther Perel. May Hashem shower him with a complete healing among all of Klal Yisrael who are sick and suffering b’karov, b’rachamim, Amen.
“And the humble shall inherit the land…” (Tehillim 37:11)
Above all others the humble shall enjoy life. Even if they must endure trials and tribulations, they enjoy inner peace and serenity.
According to Rav Samson Raphael Hirsch ztk”l; the humble submit to Hashem’s will because they internalize the fact that their understanding and strength is limited. They ‘wish to be only that which Hashem wants them to be, and nothing else.’
The humble are the true conquerors and inheritors of the earth for they shine the light of emuna and enjoy Hashem’s personal intervention in their lives. They bask in Hashem’s radiance and dwell in a blissful state, little understood by the rest of the world.
Peace they love and peace they enjoy. Peace leads to peace and the more we love it, the more shall it come to us.
“Tashev Enosh ad dakka, va’Tomer, ‘Shuvu b’nai adam… (Thou turnest man to contrition; and say; ‘Return, O sons of man…’”) (Tehillim 90:3)
Kohelet explains this to mean that Hashem waits the humbling of the soul. Particularly when a person feels distant from Borei Olam and his spirit is shattered Hashem is close to Him. Hashem draws us near as long we recognize and admit our faults before Him. We are then able to regain strength by remaining connected to the Source of life.
