D'var Torah: "Truth will sprout from the earth, and Righteousness will look from heaven" (Tehillim 85:12). "The Wellsprings of Blessings" looks down from heaven and waits for hope to spring from the earth. Meaning, HaShem looks for the man who places his total trust and hope in HaShem, alone. Trust in any cause other than HaShem, is false trust. When a person places his true trust in HaShem, i.e., "Truth will sprout from the earth." Then HaShem will take note and shower him with abundant blessings, i.e., "Righteousness will look down from heaven." In light of this assurance of Divine assistance for true trust in HaShem, Isaiah the Prophet said, "Then you will know that I am HaShem, those who hope in Me will not be ashamed" (Isaiah 49:23).
Moral: HaShem opens the never-ending "Wellspring of Blessings" for those people who put their full trust in HaShem, alone.
Application: Repeat the two verses aloud a few times, letting them take root in your heart, "Truth will sprout from the earth, and Righteousness will look from heaven" and "Then you will know that I am HaShem,those who hope in Me, will not be ashamed." Place your true and total trust in HaShem, and detach from hoping in any other type of effort. Be confident that the "Wellsprings of Blessings" will flow upon you, granting you success, bounty, and joy.
