SF - Absolute Trust

In ancient days, each family in Israel was awarded a parcel of land as an eternal possession. If a person became impoverished and was forced to sell his land, the Torah instructs his relatives to redeem the land and return it to its rightful owner. If he has no relatives to help him buy back his land, the Torah states: "If a man has no redeemer; but his means will suffice and he acquires enough for his redemption....then he pays the purchaser....and he shall return to his ancestral heritage" (Vaykra 25:26). If the seller was impoverished and had no relatives, how will he have the means to regain his property? The Torah knows that no matter how hopeless the situation of the seller, HaShem can always send the means to redeem his land.

Just as HaShem can help a person who has fallen on hard times to buy back his land, so too, when we place our trust in HaShem, He will surely come to our rescue.

Envision the joy of the impoverished man when HaShem sends him the means to buy back his land. Transpose his trust in HaShem to your heart and be confident that HaShem will never abandon you. He will always send you His help and save you in every time and place.
