A Yid Celebrates and Thanks Hashem as Soon as Things Start Looking Better

Noach built a Mizbeach when he was saved from the Mabul and from the “prison” of the Teiva. (Medrash). Avraham built two Mizbeach’s and Yaakov one, in thankfulness of being told good news about having children. Although Noach’s action is total Hoda'ah for Hashem’s goodness; Avraham Avinu and Yaakov showed gratitude BEFORE the actual Yeshua. The Orchos Chaim of the Rosh says that the main difference between Klal Yisroel and the Goyim is Middas HaBitachon.

A Yid has to practice being like the Avos, and make major gratitude gestures (similar to their building a Mizbeach) and thank Hashem even for your Bitachon in a good future. Dovid made a Beged out of the sheep he rescued and wore it to remember the miracle Hashem did for him.
