The Lubavitcher Rebbe on Faith in G-d
Classic Torah sources teach two conflicting ideas when it comes to “Trust in G-d”: On the one hand, a person is commanded to rest assured that G-d will deliver him from any predicament, in a way that will be openly and clearly good; to never lose hope, for G-d is the source of infinite goodness. On the other hand, if one’s prayers have not yet affected the desired outcome, he must joyfully acknowledge that G-d is the source of all good and that everything He does is good - so the present state is also “good.” The explanation: A Jew’s life-force derives from the commandments of the Torah of Life, given by the G-d of Life. So regardless of external circumstances, the Mitzvah itself to serve G-d with joy is a permanent source of stability and faith. 20 Av 5745 | August 07, 1985 Let us know what you think in the comments below 📩 Subscribe and share!
