Parnasa in an Instant
One of the areas that we are tested in on a daily basis is parnasa-how we earn it and what we do with it. If someone is blessed with a lot of money, he has one type of test – recognizing it’s all a gift from Hashem, staying humble, giving charity. If someone is struggling with parnasa, he has a different type of test – recognizing that that is also from Hashem for his best, staying close to Hashem during his struggle, keeping his integrity, and hoping and praying to Hashem to send him a salvation. We must always believe that Hashem could help us in an instant. One second a person could be wondering how he’s going to pay for food and the next second be wondering which charitable organization is he going to give ma’aser from the abundance of money that Hashem just sent him.
No matter what situation a person finds himself in, he should always hope to Hashem for an instant yeshua.
