TOTAL SURRENDER
November 16, 2023
Once a Jew acknowledges that whatever happens in this world is the result of Hashem’s decision and engrains that truth into his consciousness, he can no longer have an opinion on world events. It means total surrender to Hashem’s will, with the total understanding that Hashem doesn’t need our approval or disapproval for whatever he does or doesn’t do.
Reality is, do I really know what is good or bad? What is best for me or the world? Do I know all the facts like Hsshem does?How often does it happen that what we thought is good turns out to be bad and what we thought would be bad turns out to be good?
True Emunah and Bitochin requires our total surrender to Hashem, who’s power and ways are beyond our comprehension. It requires zero judgmentalism of Hashem’s actions, which are always perfect and justified.
Let’s give Hashem the benefit of the doubt, that he knows one hundred percent what he is doing, even without our expert advise or assistance. Hashem has managed His affairs perfectly, prior to our arrival on the scene and will surely continue to do so in the future.
