You Will See the Light
"The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light" (Ishaiah 9:1). During the Egyptian exile Klal Yisrael fell into a back-breaking bondage and descended into the lowest level of spiritual impurity. When the situation was absoluteley bleak, HaShem suddenly redeemed Klal Yisrael.
Lesson: Just as HaShem redeemed Klal Yisrael from the very depths of darkness, so too, from amidst darkness and desperation HaShem will swiftly reveal the light of the final redemption.
App: Reflect on the miracles that HaShem performed for Klal Yisrael throughout history, such as: the ten plagues, the splitting of the Red Sea, the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai, the manna in the desert, the conquering of the Land of Israel from thirty-one kingdoms, the establishment of King David's sovereignty, the building of King Solomon's Temple, Chanukah, and Purim --- and be inspired to absolutely trust in HaShem to instantaneously reveal His light and redeem Klal Yisrael.
