Daily Chizuk #1533

In this week's parasha, the Torah, in two different places, mentions the fact that when the Jewish people were leaving Egypt, Hashem gave them חן in the eyes of the Mitzrim, and the Mitzrim gave them their gold and silver and clothing. In parashat Shemot as well, the Torah repeats the same thing. Why was this such an important fact that the Torah needed to tell us three different times?
Rabbi Menashe Reisman quoted the Steipler who gave a wondrous explanation. As we know, Hashem could have taken out His nation with just one makkah. The reason He did ten makkot is like the pesukim tell us, to give us emunah in Him.
With the first set of makkot, it says, בזאת תדע כי אני ה'. Regarding the second set of makkot, we were taught אני ה' בקרב הארץ. And in the final set of makkot taught us כי אין כמוני בכל הארץ.
Hashem is the only one in charge of everything, including people's minds. Let us internalize this fact and put His will before anybody else's.
