Final Day Miracles: Culminating the Miraculous Time
Sometimes it appears at face value that good people lose out and wicked people prosper. This is because Hashem hides Himself so well and does not let it be obvious that those who follow Him always win and those who don't always lose. Because if that would be obvious, we would lose our free will.
We have a mitzvah to trust that what Hashem does is always just and upright and is the absolute best thing for us. The pasuk says תמים תהיה עם ה' אלוקיך, which Rashi explains to mean כל מה שיבא אליך קבל בתמימות - anything that happens to you accept wholeheartedly.
The natural response from someone in this position would be bitterness and agony, but someone who knows he has a mitzvah of תמים תהיה, someone who knows that Hashem is always doing best for him can shine despite his very difficult life. There are many people in this world who have very hard lives and they can't possibly fathom how what they are going through could be good. Yet, if they could say, "I don't have the ability to comprehend the ways of Hashem, but I trust that what He is doing is best for me," they can soar to the greatest heights. The harder that is to do, the more valuable it becomes. One day Hashem will enlighten us to see the goodness in everything He ever did, but before that happens, we can elevate ourselves by believing it and trusting in Him.
