Basics of Emunah [#202]

February 11, 2018

Question:

How can we feel calm and that Hashem is doing everything when there are so many troubles surrounding us?

Answer:

This question goes against all our emunah. The Kotzker Rebbe zt”l said, “If I could understand Hashem, I would not want Him to be my God.” We do not understand Hashem or His ways. We do not understand His good ways and surely when He has to inflict pain upon us we don’t understand. There is a little we do comprehend but for the most part, we don’t comprehend His ways, so we must not question Him.
