Q: What lesson can we learn from the Islamic fundamentalist terrorists that were caught right before they were going to blow up the tunnels and bridges in New York City?
A: Well the fact they were caught before they did harm we have to thank Hakadosh Baruch Hu for that. Certainly.
But we have to understand from this story that there are many reshaim that are planning all kinds of wicked things that we don’t know about. And Hakadosh Baruch Hu is constantly saving us in ways of which we are unaware. You have to know that. Very many things have happened to save us from things which we’re not aware of. And although we don’t have the slightest inkling that we were in danger, but we have to know that many times we are in very extreme sakanos and Hakadosh Baruch Hu has rescued us.
Hakadosh Baruch Hu is doing miracles without our knowing it. Wonders are taking place within us. We’re being saved every day. םֹיו לָכ¿ּב∆ׁ ָ̆יך∆ ֹ̇ו‡¿ל¿פƒנ לַﬠ ̇≈ﬠ לָכ¿ּב∆ׁ ָ̆יך∆סƒנ לַﬠ¿וּנוָּמƒע. Hashem is doing miracles all the time and we’re being saved. And it’s important for us to realize that.
So this story with the terrorists is just a mashal. Just like there we see that they planned to do something but Hashem frustrated their evil intentions, there are many instances where things are taking place that Hakadosh Baruch Hu is constantly rescuing us from perils.
