Look at Yosef’s persistence with his unending Romemus, despite his brother’s hatred and being sold to the ugliest Tumah’dika country, Mitzrayim, as a lowly, cheap slave, and being thrown in jail for a long time. He never stops thinking big, and as soon as he has some success, he is already: מְ סַ לְ סֵ ל בְ שַׁ עֲ רוֹ styling his hair, despite still being an Eved (slave), to a lowly Potiphar.
הָּ עַ קְ שָּׁ ן יַצְ לִּ יחַ The stubborn will be Matzliach! A person should learn from Yosef to continue having Bitachon in the biggest Yeshuos, and to respect himself despite all kinds of horrific circumstances and sins, personal weaknesses, and all kinds of mistakes and failures. Like the Nazis, Y'mach Sh'mam, said about us: “It is their fate, they must accept it.”
מִּ דָּ ה טוֹבָּ ה מְ רוּבָּ ה How much more is this true in a positive way! The true Baal Bitachon says: “I’m a winner, no matter what the sad present looks like. I don’t get frustrated by my failures and difficulties, because:
- כִּ י הַ כֹ ל יָּכוֹל Hashem can do anything, &
- עַ וּשׁיְ וְ ת ה ' רֶ הֶ כְ ף עַ ןיִּ His Yeshua can come in the blink of an eye
- אַ פִּ ילוּ חֶ רֶ ב חַ דָּ ה מוּנַחַ ת עַ ל צַ וָּארוֹ שֶׁ ל אָּ דָּ ם, אַ ל יִּתְ יָּאֵ שׁ מִּ ן הָּ רַ חֲ מִּ ים ברכות י א
As impossible as your situation may seem, NEVER give up hope! All these powerful Chazal’s and Pesukim of Bitachon keep him feeling high at all times, and:
- וְ סוֹף הַ כָּ בוֹד לָּ בוֹא Your day will come
“Nothing scares me!”
