Earn Eternal Rewards: The Preciousness of Every Moment
Singing in the Darkness: Finding Emunah in Every Moment
David HaMelech tells us in Tehillim, וצדקתך ירננו, which the Sha'arei Chaim explains to mean that even when we face difficulties, we are meant to respond by singing to Hashem. How is that possible? The pesukim before reveal the secret: דור לדור ישבח מעשיך—each generation should relate to the next the chesed they have seen from Hashem in their lives.
ודברי נפלאותיך אשיחה—David HaMelech would constantly speak, even in everyday conversation, about the wonders of Hashem.
וגדולתך אספרנה—he would speak of the endless greatness and kindness Hashem bestows upon the world.
זכר רב טובך יביעו—our mouths should overflow with praise for Hashem's goodness like a spring that never runs dry.
If a person constantly talks about Hashem's kindness, then when something happens that appears negative, it won't shake him. He'll already be fortified with the understanding that Hashem only does good.
The Midrash says that from the day Hashem created the world, no one sang shirah until Bnei Yisrael sang אז ישיר at Keri'at Yam Suf.
In the future, Hashem will reveal to us all the good behind every event. But if we can trust Him now—before the light shines through—and sing in the darkness, we will reach the
highest spiritual levels.
