Concrete Commitments: Improving Avodat Hashem in Elul
Only A Small Part Of The Picture
There are things that happen in life that we can’t seem to make any sense of. We know that Hashem is merciful, but people go through a lot of pain, and we wonder how that could possibly be mercy. When we see others who are going through difficulties and they are waiting and hoping for such a long time for salvation, we might be thinking, “Hashem could easily help them, so why doesn’t He?” These are hard issues to deal with.
We can’t possibly know all of the calculations of Hashem, we’re only able to see small glimpses into them, but we must trust that all of His ways are mercy, even though we can’t see it. This is what emunah is all about – believing without seeing. It will lift us up and bring us so much closer to Hashem.
