the talmud says Rabbi Akiva used to say
everything Hashem does is for the best
whatever God does is for the good a
person doesn't always see the good in
everything at first it seems there is
distress and sorrow but one needs to
live with auna and Bon in God auna is to
trust in God bakon is the outcome of
auna when a person trusts in God he
becomes calm a person who is calm like
this even if if he doesn't see the good
in something right now he definitely
knows that something good will come out
of it a true story in the US a man
struggling financially had to borrow
$50,000 from a money lender some money
lenders offer interest free loans
without requiring collateral he paid
back in 10 installments $5,000 a month
he told the money
lender I don't always have cash in my
account I will give you 10 checks as a
deposit but promise me you won't deposit
them I will come come and give you cash
every month everything went smooth in
the beginning however in the third month
the money lender mistakenly deposited
one of the
checks he deposited the check with other
ones in the middle of the night this guy
gets stuck in a remote area his car ran
out of fuel he tries to refuel though
they don't accept his credit card he
looks at his phone and sees that the
check was deposited and his account is
in minus he says to himself everything
Hashem does is for the best don't get
upset all is for the good and then
instead of feeling feelings of Despair
and hopelessness he said to himself make
an effort he searched the car and found
$23 he asked the attendant for $23 worth
of fuel he explained that his credit
card is blocked and he is stuck without
fuel the attendant said to him but I see
that despite all this difficulty you are
full of life and joy what's your secret
he said it's my faith
that all is for the good he said if you
have faith refuel for $20 and buy a
lottery ticket for
$3 he bought a scratch card for $3 and
he won
$50,000 the precise amount he borrowed
is the exact amount he won that
evening he then realized if the credit
card would have worked he would have
refueled and continued but because of
the difficulty only good came out when
one trusts in God even if he doesn't see
the outcome at the time time he relies
only on
him the talmud tells us about a person
who got a nail in his leg and missed his
boat out to sea 2 weeks later he found
out that the boat drowned it took 2
weeks to realize that everything is for
the best for some people it takes 70
years and for some after 120 years they
understand though the joy of a person's
life is dependent upon the faith and
trust in Hashem that he educates and
instills in himself and his
family
