The Benefit of Mitzvot: Lessons from the Wood Gatherer
The Power Of Tehilim
The Magen Avraham al HaTorah writes, when a person says Tehillim with kavana, the light of his neshama shines so brightly, he brings upon himself some of the kedusha of Hashem and, with that, his prayers become so much more powerful and are able to bring down both spiritual and physical blessings. The Shelah Hakadosh writes, when a person is saying Tehillim, it’s considered as if he is praying and involved in Torah at the same time. The Tzemach Tzedek said, if we would know what our Tehillim is accomplishing in shamayim, we would be saying it all the time. It breaks down any barriers between us and Hashem and is able to go right in front of the Kiseh HaKavod and bring about chesed and rachamim. It’s brought down in the hakdama of the Tehillim Torat Chesed that if someone says the entire Tehillim three times in one day, it’s considered like he fasted for an entire week straight. The Sefer Keter Nehora writes, fasting for an entire week straight, from Shabbat to Shabbat, not including Shabbat, is considered like fasting 5,600 separate days. If someone says the entire Tehillim once in a day, it’s considered like he fasted for two days straight, which the Keter Nehora says is equal to 27 separate days of fasting. Tehillim is available for anyone to say, at any time. Let us take advantage of the great opportunity.
Tehillim is wondrous. It helps us both physically and spiritually. And we get a mitzvah for each word we say.
