Lift Them Up: The Lesson of the Half Shekel
*Parashat Vayishlach: On the Spot"
We mentioned that a person has to be patient when it comes to Hashem. He may have prayed the best tefillot, which may have already been answered, but that does not necessarily mean that he is going to get what he asked for right away. He may have done the greatest act of mesirut nefesh, which is going to bring the salvation he wants, but it may not come immediately or even in the near future. And if we are patient and trust that Hashem will give us what we need at the right time, that will make us great.
This does not mean, however, that we shouldn't pray with emunah that Hashem could help us right away. The pasuk says that Hashem is the King who answers us "ביום קראנו," on the day that we call out. Sometimes a person is in need of an immediate yeshu'ah, and he is encouraged to pray with emunah that this can happen.
In general, we must be patient when it comes to seeing salvations from our deeds and tefillot, but at the same time, we must pray with the emunah that Hashem could always help us on the spot.
Shabbat Shalom!
