Mitzvot as Armor: Your Shield from Harm
The pasuk says in Kohelet, “שומר מצוה לא ידע דבר רע – someone who does a mitzvah will never see any harm from it.” The mitzvot are our protection. They shield us from harm.
No harm could ever come out of giving tzedaka; and to help somebody by putting him into business is the highest form of tzedaka. Even if the investor would only have personal motives in mind, he would still get credit for this high form of tzedaka.
שומר מצוה לא ידע דבר רע. We can never lose out by doing a mitzvah; we only gain. And our emunah in that principle can make the gains even greater.
