Trust, Hope, and Redemption
"Trust in HaShem, strengthen and encourage yourself, and trust in HaShem" (Tehillim 27). This inspirational verse teaches us to always rely and trust in HaShem because even a thousand difficulties cannot extinguish one's dynamic faith. "Trust in HaShem," that no trouble will come. If trouble does come, "Strengthen and encourage yourself." Meaning, never give up hope from finding HaShem's compassion, even if "the sword is resting on your neck." Lastly, "And trust in HaShem," meaning, on the merit of your irrepressible trust in HaShem the trouble will pass and you will find relief.
Lesson: Unyielding faith in HaShem is the key to our personal redemption. In addition, our pure trust in HaShem awakens the redemption of all Klal Yisrael.
App: Reflect upon and repeat today's verse. Envision your trust in HaShem growing stronger and stronger, and see all of your troubles fade away. Envision all of Klal Yisrael trusting in HaShem and awaken the merit to bring our final redemption.
