The worker did not arrive at the store on time, and some of the customers were already calling to ask why the store is closed?! The worker did not answer his cellphone. I live in another city and by the time I would reach the store to open it, the worker will have probably shown up...
Instead of being sad and angry, I said to myself, ‘Everything is for the best and for beracha, the income tax inspector was supposed to show up, and by being closed, I was saved from penalties and damages of one kind or another’, and I went back to my learning.
After a while, I checked the store’s security cameras and I saw that the store was still closed, and a government official was trying to open it... most likely this was the day they were supposed to come. He was an inspector for the Department of Health and their regulations are very harsh. Even if everything is perfect, they always find something, and whatever they pin on you, is not easy to deal with. They walked back and forth and eventually gave up and went on their way. The wisdom of bitachon [trust] is an act of imagining and thanks and sometimes getting to see how HaKadosh Baruch Hu saves us.
