THOSE WHO WORK HARD ON INYANEI BITACHON ARE ZOCHE TO ALL KINDS OF NIFLA'OS AND YESHUOS
True Story
A group of people were working hard for a world famous important Tzedaka and were getting half the amount of the usual donations. Instead of $180 they got $100, and instead of $100 they got $50. But one of my Chasidim was in charge, and he laughed at the problem and kept insisting: “If we get less from Berel, we’ll get more from Mendel”, etc. Their attitude changed the whole situation, and they made $30,000 more than usual, whereas another group collecting for the same thing got $10,000 less than usual.
רש"י בפרשת תולדות עה"פ וַיִּזְרַע יִצְחָק בָאָרֶץ הַהִוא וַיִּמְצָא בַשָנָה הַהִוא מֵאָה שְעָרִ ים וַיְבָרְ כֵהוּ ה' (כו יב) בָאָרֶץ הַהִוא - אע"פ שאינה חשובה כארץ ישראל עצמה כארץ שבעת הגוים (ב"ר) .בַשָנָה הַהִוא - אע"פ שאינה כתקנה שהיתה שנת רעבון (ב"ר) . בָאָרֶץ הַהִוא בַשָנָה הַהִוא - שניהם למה, לומר שהארץ קשה והשנה קשה .מֵאָה שְעָרִ ים - שאמדוה כמה ראויה לעשות ועשתה על אחת שאמדוה מאה. ורבותינו אמרו אומד זה למעשרות היה .
Yitzchok Avinu, despite a: שְ נַ ת רַ עֲ בוֹן year of famine, made a beautiful gain in Parnasa. (Rashi). “Yitzchok” means “will laugh”, and indeed, his very belated birth was an open miracle Min HaShamayim, being born to paternal great grandparents, at 90 and 100 years of age. A Baal Bitachon who is always laughing at Tevah, and who realizes that all the pain and difficulties are just Nisyonos Min HaShamayim to see if you will still not be Mya'esh, is Zoche to all kinds of strange and unexpected Nissim.
Especially in the days of Chodesh Nissan which is a Zman of Nissim to those who take advantage of Zman Cheiruseinu (the time of year when we were set free) and work hard on Inyanei Bitachon, they are Zoche to all kinds of Nifla'os and Yeshuos. R' Gershon Liebman Zatzal once told me how our very existence is loaded with Nisei Nissim, and people who are: מִ תְ בוֹנֵ ן (delve) in the simple truths and wonders of life Al Pi Tevah, have an easier time to get to believe in L'maala Min HaTevah.
No more Hispa'alus from any difficulty, whether in Ruchaniyus or Gashmiyus. Learn to laugh at Tevah, and expect miracles like K'riyas Yam Suf, no matter how dark your situation
TRUE STORY
A woman was going through a very abusive marriage with a husband who was always yelling at her and saying hurtful things. She started saying only nice things about him behind his back and he became a new person. She said that it was Mamash Nissim.
