Spoken in the Desert: The Love Conveyed in Bamidbar
Believing in Hashem's ability to bring salvation in the blink of an eye is an invaluable avoda.
It is also something that is expected of every Jew to fully internalize. This is not always easy—especially after years of hoping and waiting without seeing salvation.
Everything is possible with emunah.
The Rishonim discuss why there is a mitzvah to eat on Erev Yom Kippur. Many say that it is to provide strength for the fast the next day.
This raises a question: If someone is ill and unable to fast, does he still have the mitzva to eat on Erev Yom Kippur?
The Sdeh Chemed writes that he absolutely does. Why? Because Hashem can heal a person in an instant, and by the time Yom Kippur arrives, he may very well be able to fast.
The Sdeh Chemed uses the phrases: "ישועת ה' כהרף עין" and "היפלא מה' דבר?"—principles that are so fundamental they even influence halacha.
It is up to us to develop our emunah to the point that no matter what we are going through, we know—Hashem can always help us in an instant.
