Even In Difficult Times A Yid Never Gives Up Since He Always Has Hashem
Chazal say that Mordechai burst out crying in Shushan because Yaakov Avinu caused Eisav to burst out crying (like it says: וַׁיִצְעַׁק צְעָּקָּה גְדֹלָּה וּמָּרָּה עַׁד מְאֹד תולדות כז לד) when he stole the Brachos. Notice how by Eisav it says: עַׁד מְאֹד (he cried) “exceedingly”, and not by Mordechai. Eisav gives up completely, but a Yid realizes that he always has Hashem, and even in difficult times his pain is always less. When Avraham was Maspid Sara, it says: תָּה כֹ וְלִבְ “he cried for her” with a small: כַׁ ף Kaf. Similarly, when Rivka had aggravation, it says: צְתִי בְחַׁיַׁי מִפְנֵׂי בְנוֹת קַׁ חֵׂת תולדות כז מו “I am distressed” with a small: קוּף Kuf. **
Zeresh told Haman: אִם מִזֶרַׁע הַׁיְהוּדִ ים מָּרְ דֳּכַׁי אֲשֶר הַׁחִלוֹתָּ לִנְפֹל לְפָּנָּיו לֹא תוּכַׁל לוֹ כִי נָּפוֹל תִפוֹל לְפָּנָּיו אסתר ו יג “Since Mordechai is beginning to get the upper hand, “soon he’ll finish you off completely”. Look how his best friends and his brilliant wife speak to him! And look at the total Yi'ush! This is just like Eisav! וַׁיִבֶז עֵׂשָּו אֶת הַׁבְכֹרָּה כה לד Eisav (gave up and) despised the Bechora. Who knows; if Haman hadn’t given up, perhaps he would have come out ahead, Chas V'shalom. ***
There is a story in Sefer Shmuel about Klal Yisroel who went to war against the Pelishtim while bringing the Aron HaKodesh in battle. As soon as the Pelishtim saw the Aron HaKodesh, they became disheartened and were ready to give up. But they were M'chazek each other to continue fighting despite the Aron HaKodesh, and indeed they won the war, killing the two sons of Eli Cohen Gadol and capturing the Aron HaKodesh. ****
Look at the Koach of not being Mya'esh! And this is without Bitachon in Hashem; just the basic Midda of not having Yi'ush has such power! Imagine the Koach of a Yid who isn’t Nis'pael from his serious health, Parnasa, or relationship issues, and he isn’t Mya'esh because of his Bitachon in Hashem! *****
